The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) will uphold the suspension of Russian teams against the backdrop of a full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

It is reported by Sky News.

According to the source, Kazan will also not be able to host the UEFA Super Cup in 2023, as originally planned.. An alternative venue is expected to be chosen for the game.

On Wednesday, January 25, UEFA will hold a meeting of the executive committee, and the Russian Football Union (RFU) held talks with the leadership of European football the day before. However, sanctions on Russian football will not be lifted until the aggression against Ukraine stops..

UEFA discussed with the Russian Federation general issues of the state of Russian football and preparations for returning to international competitions, but this will happen only after the end of the war.

Recall that last year UEFA and FIFA suspended all Russian clubs and teams from international tournaments, including the World Championships, European Championships and European Club Cups.. The Russian Federation also lost the right to host international football events on its territory under the auspices of both organizations..
