Zaza Janashia said that Russia will return to international tournaments in a year
Ex-footballer of Lokomotiv Moscow and the Georgian national team Zaza Janashia announced the timing of the return of the Russian national team and clubs to international tournaments. “Championship” reports this.
“Six months. Maximum – one year. This is a sport! What does politics have to do with it? – noted the former player. Janashia also added that Russia must be ready to return.
Janashia played for Lokomotiv from 1996 to 2001. Together with the team he won four Russian Cups.
On February 28, 2022, the International Football Federation (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 finals of major tournaments.
