Shevchenko plans to tell Infantino face-to-face that Russia’s football ban must stand
Ukrainian FA president seeks meeting on Thursday
Fifa president due at Uefa congress in Brussels
Andriy Shevchenko will seek a meeting with Gianni Infantino on Thursday to discuss the Fifa president’s recent comments that favoured Russia’s return to international football competitions.
Infantino sparked condemnation in Ukraine when, speaking in an interview last week, he said the ban on Russia’s participation should be reassessed. Shevchenko, the Ukrainian Association of Football president, is looking to restate Ukraine’s position in private when the pair attend Uefa’s congress in Brussels.
