British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Russia should not host football tournaments. His words are quoted in Twitter AP journalist Rob Harris.
“Russia is becoming more and more isolated. Russia has the status of a pariah … It invades independent countries, ”said Johnson. Based on this, he considered that Russia had no chance of holding football competitions.
Earlier on February 22, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) announced that it had no plans to postpone the Champions League final from St. Petersburg after Russia recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR). The final of the tournament should take place on May 28.
On the same day, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Yaroslav Kaczynski, who oversees security issues, proposed a boycott of international sports competitions held in Russia. He considered that this would create problems for the country.
