According to him, such decisions are not friendly.
“Sports continues to be used as a tool of political reckoning under conditions where it should be used as a means of development, strengthening of social ties, and bringing people closer together.

We believe that such an early denial of access is proof that the European authorities aim to destroy football in our country,” Zakharova said.
