The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the appeals filed by russia’s Football Union regarding the ban imposed on the russian teams and clubs’ participation in competitions held under the aegis of UEFA and FIFA.

“The escalation of the conflict between russia and Ukraine, and the public and government responses worldwide, created unforeseen and unprecedented circumstances to which FIFA and UEFA had to respond,” the statement said.

Both UEFA and FIFA “acted within the scope of the discretion granted to them under their respective statutes and regulations” in determining that russian teams and clubs “should not participate in competitions under their aegis while such circumstances persisted.”
