The scandal with UEFA may end its continuation on the global level.
FIFA may impose a new restriction on the participation of Russian teams in international competitions as early as today, reports the Sky News portal.
It appears that FIFA is considering amending its position with the Russian Federation after it was amended in UEFA last year. The decision that would allow Russian U-17 teams to play at world championships if they qualify can be adopted today, at the time of the meeting for the organization.
European teams will secure selection in the world championship among juniors up to 17 teams based on performances on the UEFA banner, until such a century category is now re-admitted in Russia. FIFA also views the series of U-17 teams as a selection tournament for emergencies, which gives them the logic to turn the Russians.
If the final decision is made, the Russian federation may lose the chance to qualify for the U-17 World Women's Championship, which will be available in 2024..
