As the head of the Saeima Sports subcommittee Dāvis Mārtiņš Daugavietis explains in a post on the “X” platform, the amendments are necessary in connection with this week’s immoral decision of the Association of European Football Federations to allow Russian youth national teams to participate in international tournaments.
