Former football player Andrey Kanchelskis does not believe that the sanctions imposed on football in relation to Russia will be lifted anytime soon. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
As a former player of "Manchester United," he finds the talk of Russian teams returning to international football fields in 2026 to be ridiculous. Kanchelskis emphasizes that the leaders' statements about participating in games starting next year may not be true, but it is necessary to be prepared for such an opportunity to arise in the near future.
The restrictions imposed on the Russian Football Union by UEFA and FIFA have lasted for over three years. As a result, Russian clubs and national teams are unable to participate in official international competitions.
It should also be noted that the next gathering of the Russian national team is scheduled to take place in September.
