The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected Russia’s appeals against FIFA and UEFA bans in a verdict released on Friday
Football officials in Russia have said they will continue to fight their corner despite having their appeal against a FIFA and UEFA ban rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Switzerland.
CAS announced on Friday that it had dismissed the claims by the Russian Football Union (RFU) and a quartet of Russian clubs, who had argued that suspensions imposed by FIFA and UEFA were unfair.
The ruling means that Russian national and club teams of all levels and types will continue to be prevented from appearing in FIFA and UEFA competitions.
“The RFU categorically disagrees with the CAS decision and reserves the right to continue protecting its own interests,” read a statement from Russian football bosses shared by Match TV.
