He declared that “679 Ukrainian girls and boys will never be able to play football – Russia killed them.”
“And it continues to kill more while moral degenerates propose lifting the bans, despite Russia’s failure to end the war. Future generations will perceive this as a shame, reminiscent of the 1936 Olympics,” he wrote on the Kh.
In an interview with Sky News, the president of FIFA said that it is necessary to consider the possibility of lifting the ban on participation in the competition imposed on Russia. According to him, the ban was ineffective.
FIFA banned Russia from the competition when its invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. Russia was kicked out of that year’s World Cup in Qatar and did not qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held this summer in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
