Football player of the Russian national team Fomin said he would like to play in tournaments under the auspices of UEFA
Dinamo Moscow midfielder of the Russian national team Daniil Fomin spoke about the possible transition of Russian football to the Asian Confederation. His words are quoted by Sport24.
The football player explained his desire to stay in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) with the opportunity to play in tournaments under the auspices of the organization. “I would like to strive to hear the anthem of the Champions League and the Europa League,” Fomin said.
On December 30, 2022, the RFU created a working group that will study the issue of moving from UEFA to the Asian Confederation. At the same time, UEFA opposes Russia’s desire to leave the organization.
On February 28, the International Football Federation (FIFA) and UEFA excluded Russian teams and clubs from international tournaments. The teams do not play in European competitions, and the Russian team has lost the opportunity to compete for reaching the finals of the 2022 World Cup.
