The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has turned down appeals submitted by the Russian Football Union and a number of Russian football clubs against a previously issued decision to bar them from all international football tournaments, the CAS press office said in a statement on Friday.
"The appeals filed by the FUR [Russian Football Union] against the decisions taken on 28 February 2022 by the Bureau of the FIFA Council (the FIFA appeal) and the UEFA Executive Committee (the UEFA appeal) to suspend all Russian teams and clubs from participation in their respective competitions until further notice have been dismissed and the Challenged Decisions are confirmed," the statement from the Swiss-based court in Lausanne reads
The Russian Football Union filed an appeal against its suspension in May. Russian football clubs CSKA Moscow, Zenit St. Petersburg, Dynamo Moscow and Sochi also filed in May a joint lawsuit with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against their suspension from the European tournaments in the 2022/2023 season.
