The head of the RFU Dyukov allowed the participation of the Russian national team in the 2026 World Cup
The head of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Alexander Dyukov, assessed the country’s national team’s chances of playing at the 2026 World Cup. His words are quoted by RB Sport.
The functionary admitted that this could happen. “Are they as unfriendly as possible towards us? At the moment yes. But in this life, sometimes everything changes very quickly,” Dyukov emphasized.
On October 27, the chances of the country’s national team to take part in the 2026 World Cup were assessed by the vice-president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Denis Solovyov. He noted that he does not see any objective possibilities for this.
In February 2022, FIFA and 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 the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024.
