Famous Russian coach Yuri Semyin joyfully welcomed the chatter of the "president of the RFU" Alexander Dyukov about how Russia will return to the civilized football world in four years.
Yuri Semyin— I believe that the Russian national team will participate in the qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup. Dyukov is well aware of the situation, he keeps it under control. If Alexander Valeryevich says so, that's wonderful, — the words of Semyin are cited by local propagandists.
Let us remind you that FIFA and UEFA excluded Russian national teams and clubs from all civilized competitions following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Indefinitely, until another decision is made.
