Russian coach Vladislav Radimov on the air “” expressed the opinion that the national team Russia it will be difficult to return to international tournaments in the foreseeable future.
Earlier, learned that the meeting of the leadership of the Russian Football Union (RFU) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is scheduled to take place in two weeks, representatives of the International Olympic Committee ( IOC) and the International Football Federation (FIFA) should also be present at the meeting.
The last meeting with the participation of RFU and UEFA representatives took place on January 24. During this, the parties agreed on the procedure for further interaction and agreed to continue contacts.
– In short, the IOC is more about individual sports, where athletes can individually represent the country without a flag or anthem. It seems to me that in team sports it will be much more difficult to come back for one simple reason. We can agree with the IOC, they will certainly be faithful, to improve relations with UEFA and FIFA. But, it seems to me, there will be some kind of coalition that will be against matches with the Russian team. The same thing happened in the qualifying matches for the World Cup in Qatar. Something similar could happen here. And then UEFA and FIFA, which side are they going to take when there is a large coalition of teams that refuse to play with us?
We will definitely miss the European Championship. The next World Cup, which will be in the United States and Canada, well, let’s be objective, it’s unlikely that the United States will try to let us go there,” Radimov said.
In February, UEFA and FIFA suspended Russian clubs and national teams from participating in international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.
