The Russians will meet UEFA in a bid to bring the teams back to international competition

January 22 - Russian football officials are due to meet UEFA this week to discuss the potential easing of the ban on Russian clubs and teams playing in European competition, according to the Tass news agency.< /p>

Last month, the Russian Football Union (RFU) decided not to leave UEFA, abandoning a plan to try to join the Asian Football Confederation (AFC)

Instead, says Tass, their representatives will meet tomorrow to discuss the issue of the possible return of Russian clubs and national teams to international tournaments.

"On January 24, at the UEFA office, a meeting is scheduled between representatives of the RFU and UEFA where the potential possibilities of the return of Russian clubs and national teams to international tournaments will be discussed", said a source quoted by dire.

So far, there has been no confirmation from UEFA who seem unlikely to lift the ban they imposed on FIFA as the war in Ukraine continues to rage.

As things stand, Russia is excluded from the Euro 2024 qualifiers which will start in March.
