War in Ukraine: Perugia and Zaksa refuse to go to Russia
At a time when the European Federation has not taken a position on what is happening in Ukraine, both Perugia and Zaksa refuse to fight on Russian soil.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has provoked many reactions in the field of sport. One of them comes from volleyball
The European Union has a hot potato in its hands as two teams have already objected to playing on Russian soil.
Notably, Perugia will be called up for the Champions League against Zenit St. Petersburg in March and the Italian outfit have no intention of doing so.
In fact, he has to take care of Oleg Plotnitsky, as the Italians express fears that there will be a problem with the presence of the Ukrainian extremist in Russia.
Zaksa has a similar problem. The Polish team meets Dynamo Moscow for the Champions League and demanded that the game should take place on neutral ground.
These aren’t the only groups that have moved on this issue. The Monza and Fenerbahce women’s team did the same.
