Bonek: if everything depended on me, I would exclude Russia and Belarus from all possible
Vice President of UEFA, former head of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) Zbigniew Boniek necessarily about sanctions against Russia and Belarusian football.
“UEFA took the Champions League final in St. Petersburg when Russian players were still flying over Europe. Then the All-Russian team from all events. As the geopolitical situation developed, it was decided that huge deadlines would be announced in Belarus as well.
They said that Bonek is considering Belarus in UEFA, but this is nonsense. Boneka was asked whether he supports the introduction of drugs against Belarus. I replied that I was completely in favor. And so everyone voted, including representatives of Ukraine.
They have no one else to play with. They would have to ask India and Bahrain to play a friendly match against them.
Why didn’t UEFA go all the way? Because you have to make decisions that can be defended against more permanent consumption. All those punished then turn to independent courts. In the Russian case, the US Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected the Russian Federation’s requests.
I would say that it was also not mentioned by UEFA and FIFA, as if they were the same thing. These are different organizations with smells of pollution, with priorities.
If everything depended only on me, I would exclude Belarus and Russia from all possible ones, ”Polsat Sport quotes Bonek.
