“Our conversation with FIFA and UEFA is based on the subject: “Colleagues, allow us into the next reasonable selection cycle.” We can no longer attend the European Championships in 2024 for sporting reasons - this is logical. Next, new competitions will start, to which we want to be admitted,” RB Sport quotes Mitrofanov as saying.

In February 2022, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russian clubs and national teams from participating in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.

It was previously reported that the RFU delegation will attend the next FIFA congress.
