The stinking sub-country called "Russia" is stubbornly looking for ways to exclude itself from UEFA and FIFA.
Yesterday, two Crimean clubs - Sevastopol and Rubin Yalta - took part in a Russian competition for the first time. Namely - in the second league of the FNL (the third ranked division), within its 1st round of the season-2023/24.
Recall that after the Russian occupation of Ukrainian Crimea, FIFA banned teams representing the peninsula from taking part in any Russian tournaments. To support football in Crimea, FIFA allowed the creation of the Crimean League, under which local clubs were granted the right to play football matches.
