Russia have declared an interest in rivalling UK and Ireland bid for the right to host Euro 2028 despite their current ban from international football.
A post on the union’s official website outlined a number of results from Wednesday’s executive committee meeting which included to “support the decision to declare interest in hosting the European Championship 2028 or 2032 in Russia”. Russia successfully hosted the 2018 World Cup but has been exiled from the international sports community since its invasion of Ukraine a month ago, with Uefa having already stripped St Petersburg of hosting rights for this season’s men’s Champions League final.
The Russian federation failed in its attempts to have the suspension imposed by Fifa and Uefa stayed by Cas until the full appeal was heard.
Hopefully, Russia will stop wasting her money on such foolishness.
