Italian journalist Palmeri believes FIFA has no choice but to overthrow Russia

MOSCOW, November 30 – RIA Novosti. Italian football reporter Tancredi Palmeri spoke About the exclusion of Russian clubs and national team from international competitions.

Earlier, the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Association of European Football Associations (UEFA) issued a joint statement, stating that Russian teams and clubs were banned from all international competitions indefinitely. In this regard, the Russian team was excluded from participating in the play-offs, as it entered the World Cup in Qatar.

“There was no other choice. I know that the players did not have a share in this. But the national team represents the country, so FIFA and UEFA did not have a choice, everything was fair. The inclusion of Crimea was a difficult situation, but Russia was not excluded because it could be discussed. The current situation is completely different, quoting Palmeri from “Championship”.

Palmeri noted that he has a great love for the Russian people and culture and hopes that Russian football will soon return to the world stage.

In mid-July, the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) rejected the objections of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to the decisions of FIFA and UEFA. In September, UEFA decided not to allow the Russian national team to participate in the draw for the European Championship – 2024 qualifying tournament.
