Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Russia was suspended from both FIFA and UEFA. For this reason, clubs from this country and the national team cannot take part in any international competitions. Recently, UEFA began to ease sanctions against the Russians and invited referee Sergei Karasev to a referees’ meeting that took place in early September.

Alexander Ceferin said when the Russians will return to the game. A clear declaration
During this event, the Russian passed the tests and can be called up for international matches. In addition, the Russian referee team was allowed to officiate in the women’s Nations League. Therefore, many people began to wonder whether the Russians would soon return to European competitions permanently. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin was asked about this. His answer was clear. – Russians will return to football only when the war in Ukraine ends, he said in an interview with Serbian Sportklub.
UEFA has zero tolerance not only towards clubs, but also sponsors from Russia. Shortly after the outbreak of the war, the federation broke off cooperation with Gazprom. – It had to be done as some kind of symbolic act. It is difficult to advertise this company during matches that are watched by hundreds of millions of people. I’m really sorry, but we had to do it, he added.

Despite the suspension, Russian clubs still receive points in the UEFA rankings. The organization decided to award teams from this country “the lowest number of points scored in the last five seasons, i.e. 4,333 points in the men’s ranking and 1,750 in the women’s ranking.” This is not a large number and because of this, Russia dropped to 26th place in the UEFA rankings.
