UEFA Bans Russia from Euro 2024 Qualification
Football's Governing Body Takes Stance Against Aggression
Russia Excluded from Competition over Ukraine Invasion
In a swift and decisive move, UEFA has announced that Russia will be banned from qualification for Euro 2024 due to its ongoing aggression against Ukraine. The decision, which was taken after a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee, sends a strong message of solidarity with the Ukrainian people and condemnation of Russia's actions.
The ban extends to all Russian national teams, including the senior men's and women's teams, as well as youth and amateur sides. It also means that Russia will not be able to participate in the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League. The exclusion of Russia from European football is the latest in a series of sanctions imposed on the country by sporting bodies, including the International Olympic Committee and FIFA. It reflects the growing international condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
