After all, the Russian under-17 teams will not participate in the battles in the qualification for advancement to the European Championship. The European Football Union (UEFA) allowed them to return to the competition at the end of September, but after the announced boycott of several European countries, it did not find a technical solution to implement its decision.
The policy of returning Russian youth teams to both boys and girls competitions has caused a split in UEFA’s executive committee, with at least 12 of Europe’s 55 member nations responding by refusing to play matches against Russia. Ukraine, England, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Norway and Finland have announced a boycott of such meetings. UEFA said after Tuesday’s executive committee meeting that “no technical solution could be found to allow Russian teams to play matches.” The AP agency informed.
Tuesday’s UEFA decision was welcomed by Ukraine, which thanked for it. “We thank our European partners for supporting Ukraine. The position of our state has been heard. Russian football remains isolated. It belongs there. We are grateful to all our European partners who supported our protest against the admission of Russian teams. There should be no compromises on this matter,” said Vadim Kostuchenko, vice president of the Ukrainian Football Association.
