Yesterday it was officially announced that FIFA and UEFA have removed the war-causing Russian national team and clubs from their organized tournaments. After the decision, the head coach of the national team of this country, Valerijus Karpinas, expressed his disappointment. "To say that we, as a coaching staff, are disappointed with such a move by FIFA means nothing. I feel most sorry for the players who dreamed of competing in the 2022 World Cup. I hope that FIFA and UEFA sanctions will be lifted soon and Russian football will return to the international arena," said V. Karpinas.
