The Ukrainian Football Association has addressed FIFA, UEFA, and European national associations with an official letter requesting a review of the UEFA Executive Committee's decision regarding the readmission of Russian U-17 teams to international competitions. "This decision is completely unexpected considering the decisive position of UEFA and FIFA since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, according to which all Russian teams were excluded from any competitions under the auspices of these organizations.
The UEFA Executive Committee, of which Andriy Pavelko, president of the UAF, is a member, adopted a decision to separate teams from Ukraine and Belarus in all future UEFA tournaments with immediate effect.
