Athletistic / Football. President of the Lithuanian Football Federation Edgaras Stankevicius said that the country’s women’s team will refuse to play with the Belarusian team in the selection for the 2025 European Championship. According to Stankevicius, Belarusian footballers are ready to suffer technical defeats.

Previously, the Euro 2025 qualifying draw took place. The Lithuanian national team was placed in the same group with the teams of Belarus, Cyprus and Georgia.

“Our position remains principled. As far as I know, refusal to play leads to technical defeat or even disqualification. We are ready to be fined, we are ready for technical defeats, but we will not play with them.

Our coach agrees with this. He is in solidarity with the federation. UEFA also understands us,” Stankevicius said as quoted by 15min.lt.
