Something to do with it being a UEFA event and that not being a major international event or something

I saw that, I find it staggering the Euros are not considered a major event.

With the population of Russia and their track record in major soccer competitions it would probably be best to leave things as they are. Looks like they're a hindrance more than anything else.

Could each player submit an application so they could compete under a different name like they did at the Olympics. OAR it was at the time I believe

They will be able to. They were known as authorised neutral athletes in the world athletics championships this year.

Edit: That's as individuals in the Olympics. WOrld Cup is different as they need an FA that's in FIFA.

 

[Coeus]

Were they not banned before only for them to let in after all or is this part of the same thing?

England fans won't get kicked to fuck again
