Sport
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called for a review of the ban on Russian teams in international competitions, describing the restrictions as ineffective.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has said the organization should reconsider the ban preventing Russian teams from participating in international tournaments.
According to Infantino, the restrictions have failed to achieve their intended goals and have produced no positive outcomes. He emphasized that sports sanctions have only intensified negative emotions rather than easing tensions.
“We definitely need to lift the ban on Russia. It achieved nothing and only led to more frustration and hatred,” Infantino said.
His remarks come amid ongoing debates about the role of sport during international conflicts and the appropriateness of political decisions within global sporting institutions.
