Former FIFA referee Myroslav Stupar commented on the fact that UEFA is awarding points to the coefficient table for disqualified Russia.
— The awarding of points to Russia, which has not played for three years, is beyond common sense. One could appeal to the conscience of UEFA representatives. But, as it seems, they have none. Unfortunately, the two major international football associations — UEFA and FIFA — have always been sympathetic towards Russia. Just recall how Gianni Infantino, the head of FIFA, tirelessly pushed for Russia to host the World Cup in 2018. At that time, he was not even stopped by the fact of the RF invasion of Crimea and Donbass. Clearly, the leaders of these associations have some common interests with the aggressor country," Stupar said.
