Czech Republic bans athletes from Russia

Russian athletes in team and individual sports will not be able to participate in competitions in the Czech Republic. The Cabinet of Ministers of the country adopted the relevant resolution, agreeing with the proposal of the National Sports Agency.
This is stated on the official website of the Czech government. It also states that athletes from the Czech Republic cannot participate in tournaments and matches organised by the aggressor country.
"The Cabinet of Ministers, on the proposal of the Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, agreed to a ban on the participation of individual athletes and sports teams representing the Russian Federation in sports competitions and matches organised in the Czech Republic, and a ban on the participation of individual athletes and sports teams representing the Czech Republic in sports competitions and matches organised in the Russian Federation," the document says.
However, it has not yet been announced what sanctions may be imposed, in particular, on hockey and football players playing for Russian teams. Earlier, the new head coach of Dynamo Moscow, Czech Marcel Lička, called the war in Ukraine a topic he was not interested in and did not follow the news about.
As reported by OBOZREVATEL, the European Football Union (UEFA) has banned Russia from including Crimean teams in the second league of the country's championship.
