The Russian Football Federation spoke of a split in the decision of FIFA and UEFA to expel the Russian teams from all its competitions.
According to the announcement, the Russians are going to claim all their rights, apparently appealing to the CAS.
In detail, the announcement:
«The Russian Football Federation categorically disagrees with the decision of FIFA and UEFA to exclude all Russian teams from participating in international games for an indefinite period.
We believe that this decision contradicts the Principles of international competitions, as well as the spirit of sport. It has a clear character of discrimination and harms a large number of athletes, coaches and employees in clubs and national teams. Above all, however, the millions of Russian followers, whose interests must be safeguarded.
Such actions divide the global sports community, which is always inspired by the Principles of Equality, Mutual Respect and Independence from politics.
“We will reserve the right to appeal the decision of FIFA and UEFA, in accordance with international sports law.”
