Boycottée by UEFA and FIFA because of the war in Ukraine and excluded from Euro 2024, the Russian Football Federation is thinking of leaving the body that manages European football to rally to Asia.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia has, in fact suspended from all football competitions in Europe and in the rest of the world. Thus, Russia which was initially played against Poland in the dam, could not validate its ticket for the World Cup in Qatar.
For the president of the Russian Football Federation, this question has become relevant. “A few months ago, I said that thinking about Asia was premature, but now it is an opportunity that we should consider,” said Alexander Dyukov.
“I have not yet spoken with representatives of Asia because UEFA considers us as members of the European family. It would be improper on our part to start negotiations behind their backs, “he added, whose remarks were relayed by the RIA agency.
