Yesterday, Sport24 received UEFA’s official circular, which, among other things, states that UEFA will publish the European qualification calendar with the dates and kick-off times of the 192 group stage matches as soon as possible after the draw to finish.
It follows from the circular that the Russian team will not be allowed to participate in the draw.
The corresponding UEFA newsletter was issued on 11 November.
This decision by FIFA and UEFA was criticized on social networks. According to users, banning only the Russian team is proof of double standards and a “dishonest decision”. Fans do not understand why the Russian team does not have the right to compete on the international stage, while the Israeli team “is not yet suspended”.
“Um… What bad thing did Russia do to FIFA and UEFA?”
“Then why isn’t Israel removed?”
“It is ironic that Israel is still not excluded, even though it performs much worse than other countries. “
“What about Israel?”
Some fans began to appeal to the actions of the US military, and the American team was not canceled against the background.
“But what about the US?”
“The US was allowed to participate in any competition when it was bombing the Middle East in pursuit of Bin Laden. FIFA and UEFA are complete hypocrites.
There are many opinions about the main principle of the sport: “Sport is outside of politics.”
“Corruption in FIFA and UEFA started when they decided to get involved in politics.”
“Hypocrisy at its worst.”
“FIFA said ‘politics has no place in football’, but they do it themselves. Double standards.”
“Politics has no place in football, football is for everyone. Football players do not run the country. “
Some, however, connect sports and politics through the rise of power of Donald Trump.
msgstr “Trump will fix this soon.”
“Wait, Trump takes office in January.” “
