"Decisions will be made. Support is increasing": Russia made a statement about returning to world soccer

Russian Football Union (RFU) president Alexander Dyukov has issued fantasies that the Russian national team will probably be able to play at the 2026 World Cup. The functionary also added that allegedly more and more countries support the return of the aggressors in international competitions.

This was stated by Dyukov in an interview with Sport24. At the same time, the henchman of Vladimir Putin's dictatorial regime avoided specific answers in every possible way, not naming the timeframe for the possible restoration of the Russian team and the countries that are allegedly in favor of the return of the Russian Federation.

"If we talk about fall, it is the resumption of soccer seasons on many continents. At this time, soccer officials are active, there are many meetings and gatherings. It is quite possible that decisions will be made to speed up the return of our national teams to official soccer tournaments. It seems to me that every month the number of countries supporting us increases. There is a chance that the Russian national team will be at the 2026 World Cup, we will see. Time will tell," Dyukov said.

It is important to note, however, that the Russians do not participate in the Nations League, which is part of the selection for the 2026 World Cup, the main draw for which will be held in December. In addition, Russian teams are excluded for the club Euro season.
