The UEFA Executive Committee canceled the decision to allow Russian youth teams to participate in tournaments

The Executive Committee of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has canceled its earlier decision to allow Russian youth teams to participate in tournaments under its auspices. About this in Twitter British journalist Rob Harris reported.

According to the source, UEFA said that the organization was unable to find a technical solution that would allow Russian teams to play.

On October 9, The Independent reported on a possible review of the decision of the UEFA executive committee on the admission of Russian youth teams to tournaments. It was noted that the decision caused a split in the management of the organization.

On September 26, the UEFA Executive Committee proposed allowing Russian national teams among players under 17 years of age to participate in international tournaments. The organization noted that the proposal includes admission in a neutral status. Later, England, Poland, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Norway, Romania and Ukraine announced that their junior teams would refuse matches with Russian teams.
