The Russian Football Federation condemned FIFA and UEFA after they suspended Russian national teams and clubs from all international competitions.
The Russian Federation stated in a statement that it “absolutely does not agree with the decision of FIFA and UEFA to suspend Russian teams from all international matches indefinitely.”
“This measure has a clear discriminatory effect on a large number of athletes, coaches, club or national team employees, and most importantly, on millions of Russian and foreign fans,” the statement said.
The Russian Federation confirmed that it “reserves the right to challenge this decision in accordance with international sports law”, without giving further details.
FIFA and UEFA have announced that Russia has been excluded from all international competitions, including the World Cup in Qatar.
