Coach Osinkin said that youth football is suffering due to the suspension
Krylia Sovetov coach Igor Osinkin named the main problem of Russian football due to the exclusion of clubs and national teams from international tournaments. His words are quoted by Match TV.
According to the coach of the Russian Premier League (RPL) team, the institution of national teams, including youth and youth teams, suffers the most. “I understand that the RFU is spinning around, finding some games, the youth team played a tournament in Brazil. But without official competitions, young football players are missing something,” Osinkin said.
On September 18 last year, the President of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), Aleksander Čeferin, answered a question about the return of Russian teams to international tournaments. “Russia will return to football only after the end of the SVO in Ukraine,” said the head of UEFA.
On February 28, 2022, the International Football Federation (FIFA) and UEFA suspended Russian national teams and clubs from participating in international tournaments. The teams do not compete in European cups, and the Russian national team lost the opportunity to fight for access to the finals of the World and European Championships.
