FIFA eyes Russia's youth tournament return
The International Football Federation (FIFA) has initiated the first phase of reintegrating Russia into international competitions after more than four years of suspension. The Russian under-15 national team will participate in a tournament held in Azerbaijan from October 22 to 31. Although Russian teams and clubs have been excluded since 2022, FIFA announced that the tournament is open to all member associations, without confirming Russia's direct participation. An announcement regarding the tournament's organization and the list of participating teams will be made later. The Russian side welcomed this step, considering it the beginning of the easing of restrictions and the gradual return of Russian teams to the international stage.
