🚨Breaking: FIFA let Russia play in the U15 World Cup | OneFootball

The body headed by Infantino has made a historic decision, one that affects both the men’s and women’s teams.

From October 22 to 31, 2026, the U-15 World Cup will take place in Azerbaijan, and in this edition it will do so with the unexpected participation of Russia.

FIFA has given the green light to the participation of the Russian delegation despite the conflict in Ukraine, which led to its suspension from all football competitions, including the European Championship, the Nations League, and of course the World Cup.

A decision that will undoubtedly bring controversy and reactions worldwide, as it will be the first time since 2022 that a Russian delegation takes part in a FIFA competition.
