Latvian national teams of all levels will not play against Russian teams. This is stated in the official statement of the Latvian Football Federation.
“The Latvian Football Federation confirms that Latvian national football teams at all levels will not play against Russian teams, regardless of the location of such games or the form of representation of Russian athletes. This contradicts the federation’s firm position regarding the war that Russia started in Ukraine, and this position will remain in force until the end of hostilities in Ukraine.
The Federation once again confirms that it is and will be united with Ukraine and its Ukrainian colleagues in all subsequent decisions. “The Federation also fully respects and adheres to the procedures established by Latvian legislation regarding the holding of such games or restrictions on the admission of such sports teams into the territory of Latvia,” the statement said.
It’s nice that the Polish Football Union made the same decision regarding the Polish national teams.
“I was surprised by yesterday’s statement by the UEFA Executive Committee. If Russian teams are allowed to compete, our teams will not compete with them. This is the only correct decision,” said the President of the Polish Football Union, Cezary Kulesza.
Let us remind you that England previously refused to play with Russian teams.
