UAF President Andrey Pavelko commented on the information that Russian team will hold friendly match with the national team Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“For the first time since the beginning of the full-scale war for the Independence of our state, a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Ukrainian Football Association was held in the House of Football. The first issue on the agenda, which received unanimous support, is an appeal to the leadership of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina with a request to cancel the decision to hold a friendly match with the Russian national team, which is scheduled for November 19 in Russia.

“In parallel, the owners of the Golden Ball Oleg Blokhin and Igor Belanov appealed to the players of the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina with a request not to participate in such a match. The UAF Executive Committee called on the leadership of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina to be in solidarity with the entire civilized football world, which removed teams from Russia from international competitions under the auspices of UEFA and FIFA for their silent support of Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine.

“And the Russians better prepare not for the matches of the national team, but for the payment of reparations for the damage caused to Ukraine, including the football infrastructure of our state.”

Earlier it became known that the UAF appealed to UEFA and FIFA with a demand not to allow a friendly match between Bosnia and Herzegovina against Russia.

Recall that the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina will play a friendly match against the national team of Russia. The match will take place on November 19 in St. Petersburg.

The veterans of the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina – midfielder Miralem Pjanic and team captain Edin Dzeko opposed the game with Russia.

Russian football teams have been suspended from all official international tournaments due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian army into Ukraine.
