Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Belarus is also ‘exiled’ by UEFA

Nyon –

Belarus has also been affected by Russian invasion of Ukraine. Clubs and Belarus national team also prohibited from competing in his own cage by UEFA. Duh!

During this week, the world was filled with news about Russia attacking Ukraine. The protracted conflict between the two neighboring countries is the main cause.

Russia, which excels in everything, puts Ukraine in a tense situation, so that many of its citizens have to flee. The world responded with courage to Russia’s decision.

Everything that smells of Russia is starting to be removed, and football is no exception. Many teams have ended sponsorship deals with Russian companies.

Even some national teams also refused to compete with Russia at the international level. This is also what makes FIFA and UEFA act decisively by punishing Russia, including removing it from the 2022 World Cup Playoffs.

Even Russia is prohibited from using the name of its country when competing in the international arena. This Russian military aggression also affected neighboring countries and their loyal supporters, Belarus.

UEFA decided to expel Belarus from its home, both at the European club competition level and the national team. That means, Belarus must play its home match at a neutral venue and without the support of the crowd!

“The UEFA Executive Committee will hold an extraordinary meeting in the future, on a regular basis regarding the existing conditions. Developments in the situation will later affect the decisions made,” said an official UEFA statement.

Belarus is a pro-Russian country since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1990. For your information, there is not a single Belarusian club left in European competition at this time.
