“The Russian Football Union expresses its categorical disagreement with the decisions taken by the UEFA Executive Committee,” the RFU communications service said in a statement.
It is noted that the RFU will continue to defend its interests in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the framework of cases already under consideration, and the union is ready to submit new applications.
On April 2, UEFA excluded the Russian team from the upcoming Nations League, and also decided not to allow Russian clubs to compete in European competition next season.
In addition, the Russian youth team has been suspended from participating in Euro 2023 among football players under 21 years old, and the women's national team will not be able to play in the final part of the European championship in 2022 and in the qualifiers for the 2023 World Cup.
Earlier it was reported that UEFA rejected Russia's bid to host the Euros in 2028 and 2032.
