The Russian national football team will not participate in the qualifiers for the 2024 European Championship.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian national teams and Russian clubs were banned from all international football. Thus, the Russian women’s national team was not included in the European Championships this summer, while the men’s national team was excluded from the World Cup qualifiers for the championships in Qatar later this year.
The suspension is for an indefinite period – and now the Russian Football Federation announces that the national team will not take part in the qualifying match for the European Championship 2024.
The reason is the decision of UEFA in February, which continues to be applied indefinitely.
However, Russia has reserved some friendlies for the future.
