Russia will not be included in the qualifying draw for Euro 2024, UEFA and the country’s football, the country’s football federation announced on Tuesday.
Following the invasion of Ukraine, UEFA banned the Russian national team and Russian clubs from international events earlier this year.
“All Russian teams are currently suspended following the decision of the UEFA Executive Committee of 28 February 2022 which has further been confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 15 July 2022,” the European football’s governing body stated in a statement.
“Russia is therefore not included in the UEFA European Football Championship 2022-24 qualifying draw.”
In July, CAS rejected Russia’s appeal against the ban.
“The Union is currently awaiting the full text of the CAS decision, following the study of which a decision will be made on further steps,” the Russian Football Union explained.
FIFA also barred Russia from competing in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
