The ban was upheld at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which accepted the argument that FIFA and UEFA had a duty to organize competitions with security and integrity free from chaos. With the war showing no signs of ending, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has signaled wanting to restore Russian teams into youth competitions. They would play without their flag, anthem, national colors and only in away games.
UEFA said children should not be punished “for actions whose responsibility lies exclusively with adults,” and its staff will look at finding groups that Russian U17 teams can play in. The UEFA executive committee will meet again on Tuesday and is expected to get an update on the process of reintegration.
Russian teams can only access the FIFA-run Under-17 World Cups by advancing through the UEFA-run qualifying format.that governing bodies should continue blocking Russia from team sports while looking to let approved individuals compete with neutral status.
