The French Basketball Federation (FFBB) deprived players of the right to be called up to their country’s national teams who did not terminate their contracts with Russian or Belarusian clubs. It is reported official website organizations.
The decision also applies to all members of the national team delegations. The FFBB asked them to sign a document confirming that they have no obligations to Russian or Belarusian clubs.
Otherwise, the player or employee may not qualify for a call-up for any international competition, including the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
