UAF member Andriy Shevchenko responded to the statement of Gianni Infantino, FIFA President, to look at the return of Russians to football.

" Read about the interview of FIFA President Gianni Infantino about the possible admission of Russians to football. UAF reacted ungainly. You all read our statement. We have clearly stated our position, which is immutable: as long as the war continues, we are categorically against the turn of the Russians towards football.

During these days, communication was established with FIFA representatives in various regions. According to the FIFA Council, the nutritional habits of the Russians are not considered - this information was also published by European snakes.

I plan to speak with Gianni Infantino to once again clearly convey information about the war in Ukraine and our position. Colleagues from various associations support us. As long as this support is saved and united, the turn of the Russians is not visible until the end,” Shevchenko said.

Earlier it became known that FIFA was launching youth festival tournaments open to Russian national teams.
