Ukrainian football teams are set to boycott UEFA competitions after the governing body lifted a ban on Russian youth sides.
UEFA said Russia can re-enter European Under-17 competitions for the first time since the country's invasion of Ukraine 19 months ago.
“UAF strongly condemns today’s UEFA decision on the return of U-17 teams from the Russian Federation to international competitions,” the UAF said.“UAF confirms that we will not take part in any competitions with the participation of Russian teams, and appeal to other UEFA member associations to boycott possible matches with the participation of teams from the Russian Federation, subject to their admission.
UEFA claimed in a statement on Wednesday, however, that children should not suffer because of the actions of adults, but clarified that senior teams at club and national levels would stay banned due to Russia's actions in Ukraine. "It is particularly aggrieving that, due to the enduring conflict, a generation of minors is deprived of its right to compete in international football."
