The Football National League (FNL) of Russia decided to issue a certificate to the Crimean club "

It is expected that the Crimean team will be entered in the competitions of the Second League, which is the third division of the Russian Championship..

This is the first time that Russia has decided to allow a team from the temporarily occupied peninsula to participate in the championship.. After 2014, Crimean clubs could not play in the Russian championship, as this would have entailed sanctions from UEFA.



It is worth noting that all teams from Russia were suspended from international tournaments under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA after the start of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The decision to license Sevastopol may finally deprive Russian football of hope for lifting sanctions.
