Uefa to block Russia return in clash with Fifa

Uefa is set to block Russia's return to international football despite the IOC lifting the country's suspension, setting up a potential clash with Fifa.

The European governing body stated its readiness to prevent Russian teams from competing globally following the International Olympic Committee's provisional decision to end the ban.

This stance contrasts with Fifa, which has indicated it will review its own position after initially suspending Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine. xsportfeed.quest
