Even Michel Audiard's famous punchline (Les cons ça dare tout…) seems too insipid to describe the indecency of the Russian Football Federation (RFU).

In the midst of the war in Ukraine, where hundreds of civilians continue to lose their lives every day because of the Russian invasion, the latter has just announced without shaking her chin that she had taken the decision "to support the decision to declare an interest” in hosting the 2028 and 2032 European Championships, before the deadline for submitting expressions of interest to UEFA.

“We have already organized many high-level competitions”

"The RFU will apply for the European Championships 2028 and 2032, it's not a joke, yes.

We are open and ready, we should not be closed to UEFA and FIFA,” Rubin Kazan general manager Rustem Saymanov, a member of the RFU executive committee, told Russian media.

“We have already organized many high-level competitions.

We have requested documents to study all the requirements, we will wait.

“We remain silent, although we must not swear to anything: Vladimir Poutine was still a great friend of Gianni Infantino not long ago, and Saint-Pteresburg hosted Euro 2021 matches last summer.
