Former football player of the Russian national team Yevgeny Aldonin reacted to statements by FIFA and UEFA representatives about the possible return of Russian clubs and teams to the international arena.

On Thursday, the head of the department for European national associations of FIFA, Heidi Beha, greeted the participants of the face-to-face conference of the RFU in Moscow on behalf of the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, and also wished the conference a good job. Josef Kliment, adviser to UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin on national associations, also spoke, expressing hope that Russian teams would be able to return to European football, and noted that the organization seeks to “build bridges between countries, not destroy them.”

– The possible return of Russian football to the international level is very positive information for everyone involved in football. Especially for football players and coaches. We look forward to concrete decisions with great optimism. Again, the main thing is that this still happens. We can talk about it as much as we like, but decisions are made at a different level. If they can agree, it will be great, – quotes the words of Aldonin “Championship”.

Russian teams and clubs do not play at the international level due to a ban by FIFA and UEFA in connection with the situation in Ukraine.
