Russia ban by FIFA to affect Manchester's hosting of UEFA Women's Euro 2022 matches

Russia FA UEFA Champions League Euro 2022 European Union Manchester Leigh Sports Village Ukraine

UEFA say no final decision has been made on Russia's involvement in the Women's Euro 2022 tournament - with all three of their group games set to take place in Manchester.

On Monday, the sporting world moved to suspend Russian teams and athletes from international competitions after the International Olympic Committee recommended that all international sports events do not invite or allow them to compete in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

FIFA and UEFA have since followed suit, meaning the three Women's Euro 2022 fixtures to be held at Leigh Sports Village this summer are currently shelved.
