Russia set to be SUSPENDED from UEFA after showing interest in hosting the European Championship

Daily Mail  

Russia are set to be suspended from UEFA after taking the inflammatory step of declaring their intention to bid for either the 2028 or 2032 European Championship. In what is being viewed by UEFA as an overtly political act, Russia and Turkey each submitted late declarations of interest just before Wednesday's 5pm deadline to try to prevent the UK and Ireland’s joint bid from winning hosting rights unopposed. UEFA are ready to suspend Russia as they seek to host the European Championship Russia's football union are 'supporting' a decision to battle the UK and Ireland for the right to host the tournament in 2028 In reality Russia have no chance of staging either tournament. Asked if Russia would be allowed to bid for the Euros, a UEFA spokesperson said: ‘The UEFA Executive Committee will remain on standby to convene further extraordinary meetings to reassess the legal and factual situation as it evolves and adopt further decisions as necessary.’ UEFA had planned to announce the Home Nations as hosts as early as next month, but they may have to wait until next year now if Turkey follow through with their intention of bidding.
