The competitions Russia stands to miss
UEFA decided to kick Russia out of European football on 28 February. The decision by UEFA was made by its executive committee and upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 15 July.
UEFA declared in a statement that Russia would not be part of the European Football Championship 2022-24 qualifying draw.
Other competitions Russia will miss includes the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year. Russia was excluded from the qualifying playoffs that took place in March.
The Russian women’s team was also exempt from the summer European championship, with Portugal replacing them in the competition.
With the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League already underway, Russian clubs are conspicuously missing, with UEFA handing bans to them and cancelling the sponsorship deal with Russian energy giant Gazprom.
The 2022 Champions League final was initially set for St Petersburg but will now be played in Paris.
