FIFA maintains contact with Russia

The International Football Federation maintains contact with the Russian Football Union. The regional coordinator of the FIFA committee of national associations spoke about this.

"Dialogue between the RFU and FIFA? The Russian Football Union is a member of FIFA. Of course, we are in contact with each other. I was in contact with Alexander Dyukov (President of the RFU - editor's note)",

Marion Gavva said

Let us remind you that in February 2022, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russian clubs and national teams from participating in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.

At the end of 2023, the RFU decided not to join the Asian Confederation, since it did not receive guarantees from FIFA. The organization intends to continue making efforts to return to UEFA.
