FIFA reinstates Russia in global events

The International Football Federation (FIFA) announced an invitation to all member associations to participate in the Under-15 Youth World Cup and its accompanying festival, which will be held in Azerbaijan from October 22 to 31. This includes Russia and its ally Belarus, despite the fact that all Russian national teams have been barred from international competitions since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in March 2022. However, the International Olympic Committee has allowed Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate as neutral athletes in the Paris 2024 Olympics and the 2026 Winter Olympics.
