The former football player of Kiev’s Dynamo and Donetsk’s Shakhtar, Andrei Kanchelskis, who has been living in the RF for a long time, is confident that the suspension of Russian football from all international competitions at both club and national team levels will last at least until 2028.
“The Russian national team has a phantom chance to play at Euro-2028. Before this year, they will not return us anywhere.
Theoretical chance to qualify for the 2026 World Cup? No chances at all. We were not included in the draw. And they will definitely not add us on special conditions,” — Kanchelskis’ words are quoted by Russian media.
