According to Tasnim news agency, Magomed Adif, head coach of the Kazakhstan national team, said about the possibility of Russia’s transfer to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC): I think Russia should wait. Sooner or later everything comes to an end. It’s clear that even then it won’t be easy and things won’t go smoothly. Not everything will be fixed overnight. Another question is when? But in any case, in my opinion, Russia should not join the Asian Confederation. Undoubtedly, UEFA will bring Russia back to European football.
In February 2022, FIFA and UEFA issued a joint statement banning Russian national teams and clubs from all international competitions indefinitely.
