Причина – февральское решение УЕФА о приостановке выступления российских сборных и клубов в соревнованиях под эгидой организации, по умолчанию действующее «до дальнейшего уведомления». pic.twitter.com/0a8mDYDkI3

“The reason stems from UEFA’s decision in February to suspend the participation of Russian national teams and clubs in the organisation’s competitions until further notice.” added the RFS. Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine last February, Russia and Russian sportsmen have been excluded from the majority of sporting events. Euro 2024 football will be held in Germany, from June 14 to July 14, 2024.
