Foreign football players still do not have to return to Russia or Ukraine against their will. The world association (FIFA) extended the special regulation for transfers of foreign professionals and coaches from clubs from Russia and Ukraine for another year until June 30, 2025. The Council decided on Wednesday in Bangkok that this Actors are allowed to suspend their contracts unilaterally.
This is a “significant number” of players and coaches, it said in a statement. FIFA decided on the measures at the beginning of March 2022 and have extended them several times since then. The world association and the European Football Union (UEFA) have banned Russian teams from international competitions.
