Athletistic/Basketball. In the spring of 2022, Russian clubs were banned from participating in the Euroleague. In particular, the sanctions affected CSKA. The suspension continues to this day. CSKA President Andrei Vatutin spoke about the chances of restoring the Euroleague.

– We believe that we were suspended from the tournament wrongly. Exclusion from the club according to Euroleague regulations is only possible in the event of specific sporting and economic violations, which we have not allowed. Of course, there is little chance that we will be reinstated in the tournament in the current situation, but in any case we will defend our rights, hope to obtain a judicial assessment of the Euroleague decision and count on compensation for the financial losses and shortfalls. . As for the amounts, it is still too early to discuss,” Rossiyskaya Gazeta quoted Vatutin as saying.
