Continuation of Ukrainian efforts to exclude Iran from the World Cup
The Ukrainian Football Federation has proposed the removal of Iran’s national team from the Qatar World Cup
The Ukrainian Football Federation has proposed the removal of Iran’s national team from the Qatar World Cup. It was seven days ago when the CEO of Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk club made a strange statement suggesting that their national football team should participate in the 2022 World Cup instead of Iran.
This is not the end of the Ukrainian football officials’ efforts to remove Iran’s national team from the World Cup. The Executive Committee of the Ukrainian Football Federation announced in a statement this Monday evening that it has asked FIFA to consider the proposal to exclude Iran’s national football team from the Qatar World Cup.
Human rights violations and aiding Russia in the war with Ukraine are among the reasons cited by the Ukrainian Football Federation for demanding the removal of our national team from the world’s most important football event.
