Russia’s national football team and clubs excluded from European competitions

Russia’s national football team and clubs have been ruled out of next season’s European Championships, UEFA said on Monday, according to Reuters.

Russia’s bid for Euro 2028 or Euro 2032 has also been declared ineligible, according to the Swiss-based organizing authority.

UEFA said its decision to exclude Russia as host followed its rules, according to which any candidate “should not act in a way that could discredit UEFA, the UEFA final phase, any other candidate or the European football “.

UEFA and the world football federation FIFA had already suspended Russian national teams and clubs from international football until recently due to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
