Athletistic / Football. The Russian Football Union has commented on the news that no Russian referees will referee the European Football Championship.
The RFU described this non-admission as an attempt “to avoid possible conflict situations with certain national teams”.
“UEFA does not prohibit the work of referees during international matches. UEFA wants to have the freedom to appoint referees. Faced with the reluctance of some teams to play matches with the participation of Russian football players, they prefer to avoid such situations We consider it a mistake, but it is the decision of UEFA “Of course, our referees want to referee at international matches,” said RFU general secretary Mitrofanov. .
Most likely, this decision is related to the participation of the Ukrainian national team in the tournament.
