Russia was deprived of right to conduct UEFA Super Cup

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) deprived Kazan of the right to hold a match for a Super Cup in 2023. The game between the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League will be held in Athens, according to the Association website.

The meeting will take place on August 16. The Super Cup will play the Madrid “Real” and the Frankfurt “Aintracht.”

Kazan received the right to hold this meeting in the spring of 2020. Earlier, the match for the UEFA Super Cup has never been held in Russia.

After the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine, UEFA and FIFA was removed from the Russian teams and clubs from the Russian Federation from international competitions. In addition, the UEFA Executive Committee decided not to allow Russian football clubs to the European Cup draw in the 2022/23 season, and the Russian team – before the performance in the League of Nations.
