State Duma deputy Khamitov called on FIFA to return Russian teams to tournaments
State Duma deputy Amir Khamitov appealed to the International Football Federation (FIFA) due to the suspension of Russian teams. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Khamitov called for the return of Russian clubs and the Russian national team to international tournaments held under the auspices of the organization. He drew attention to the fact that the Israeli clubs Maccabi from Haifa and Maccabi from Tel Aviv continue to compete in European competitions. The deputy is experiencing an obvious policy of double standards.
On November 3, it became known that the Russian national football team will play against Cuba in the next friendly match. The meeting will take place on November 20 in Volgograd at the Volgograd Arena stadium.
On February 28, 2022, FIFA and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) excluded Russian national teams and clubs from international tournaments. Teams do not compete in European competitions, and the Russian national team has lost the opportunity to fight for access to the final part of the 2022 World Cup.
