UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin responded to the appeal of the European Parliament deputies who called for Belarus to be excluded from the Euro 2024 selection.

In it, he said that he plans to discuss the participation of the Belarusian national team at the next meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee, which is scheduled for April 4 in Lisbon.. At the same time, the UEFA Congress will be held on April 5.

Recall that the letter to the UEFA President was signed by more than 100 deputies, who believe that the participation of the Belarusian team in the UEFA tournament will be used by Aliaksandr Lukashenka's regime to improve its reputation in the international community.
