The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland did not accept the appeal of the RFU on disqualification in international European tournaments.
The rejection of the appeal concerns both club teams and the Russian national team of all age categories.

Recall that after the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine on February 24, UEFA excluded Russian clubs from European competition, and the Russian team was deprived of the right to play in the qualifying play-offs for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. On May 2, UEFA decided to remove Russian clubs and national teams from the 2022/2023 international season.
