About it reports Sky News. According to journalists, three out of five UEFA Vice Presidents, who participated in a private meeting, have decided to prevent Russian youth teams from international tournaments. UEFA Senior Senior Cresident Nielsen, after he voted for Russia's return to international tournaments, lost the post of chairman of the football Association of Sweden. Local football officials opposed the return of Russian teams.
UEFA representatives held a meeting in the Swiss Nyon on Tuesday and told reporters that the plan for the return of Russians to international football competitions was lifted from the agenda: "They did not find a technical solution that would allow the Russian teams to play. " Earlier, UEFA was planned to return Russian teams not older than 17 years, as "children should not be punished for actions for adults.
" The first Vice president of UAF Vadim Kostyuchenko thanked the European partners who supported the protest of Ukraine against the admission of Russian teams. "It is important that the terrorist country is fully responsible for its crimes, including in the football world," he said. It should be reminded that FIFA condemned the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, but at the same time admitted to international competitions the youth teams of the aggressor countries.
