Russia has a new move that makes FIFA and UEFA panic

In early March, FIFA and UEFA officially announced a ban on football teams Russia from the tournaments of these two organizations. That means that the team from the country of birch will be absent from the 2022 World Cup to be held later this year in Qatar.

Despite trying very hard to oppose the decision, the Russian Football Federation failed and sadly accepted to sit at home to watch the World Cup. However, they are still looking for a way to rescue the football industry in this country. Most recently, Andrei Kanchelskis, a former player of Everton and MU has given valuable information about the direction of the country.

“I don’t expect the FIFA and UEFA bans on Russia to last long. However, if it really happens, Russia has prepared options to join the Asian Football Confederation. I worked in Saudi Arabia for a while and realized that Asian football is great. So why shouldn’t Russia play football here?” – The former player said.

In a related development, it seems that FIFA and UEFA are quite worried about the prospect of losing the Russian team in their list of members. Remember, when it came to Russia’s participation in the competition to organize Euro 2028 a little while ago, the European Football Federation resolutely refused. But in the most recent statement of UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin had softer words:

“There are things that need to be changed, but cannot be fixed forever. We are living in an era where everything rotates from day to day, hour to hour.”

“I also don’t want to talk much about the bid to host Euro 2028 that the countries are proposing. We are just discussing and will definitely notify you soon.” – The UEFA president mentioned the countries that are winning the right to host the Euro without mentioning the exclusion of Russia.

According to experts, in the context that the tension between Russia and Ukraine is gradually cooling down, leaving a rich country like Russia will make UEFA lose many lucrative interests. Many people also believe that the sudden soft move of the European Football Federation is to easily “return” to Russia when political conflicts are settled.

Currently, Russia’s women’s football team will still participate in the Euro tournament for women to be held this summer.
