In addition, it is clarified that the decision is not related to foreign policy pressure from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and foreign countries. “There are other reasons, including the recommendation of the International Friendship Association (IFA), which is headed by the former Secretary General of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Jerome Valcke,” the statement said.
The Friendship Games are scheduled for September 2024 and should be held in Moscow and Yekaterinburg. The tournament will include competitions in 33 summer Olympic and non-Olympic sports.
