The Union of European Football Associations announced that the Russian national women’s soccer team will not be allowed to compete in this year’s European championship or qualify for next year’s World Cup.
The announcement by the UEFA is the latest sanctions imposed against athletes from Russia over their country’s invasion of Ukraine in late February.
The UEFA had said days after the invasion began that it had decided to suspend all Russian representative teams and clubs from UEFA competition until further notice with the announcement on Monday being the implications of that first decision, it said.
