However in the afternoon Monday (28/2) came the decision of FIFA and UEFA, which expelled all Russian teams from all competitions.
Immediately the Spartak Moscow issued a statement, with the Russians stating that the decision they made is far from sports.
The announcement of Spartak Moscow in detail:
“The decision of FIFA and UEFA, although expected, upset us. Unfortunately, the efforts of our team in this course of the Europa League, are deleted for reasons as far away from sports as possible.
Spartak has millions of fans not only in Russia but all over the world. Successes and failures are what bring us in contact with dozens of people from different countries, even in the most difficult times the sport must build bridges not burn them.
Another decision was made, with which they do not agree, but we are forced to obey it.
Spartak will focus on the performance of the Russian championship and the national cup. “We hope for the speedy achievement of peace, which is necessary for all.”
The decision to exclude our team from the Europa League is upsetting.
We believe that sport, even in the most difficult times, should aim to build bridges, and not burn them.
We will focus on domestic competitions and hope for a speedy achievement of peace that everybody needs.
