Russia
has
been
exiled
by
FIFA
and
UEFA
following
February’s
invasion
of
Ukraine,
with
the
country’s
national
teams
and
clubs
banned
from
competing
in
any
continental
or
international
competitions.
UEFA
confirmed
ahead
of
the
2022-23
season
that
Russian
clubs
would
be
excluded
from
competing
in
their
tournaments
this
season,
although
Euro
2024
was
not
mentioned
in
the
previous
update.
However,
while
confirming
the
procedure
for
the
qualifying
draw
that
will
take
place
on
October
9,
UEFA
has
now
confirmed
Russia
will
not
be
among
the
53
teams
drawn.
“All
Russian
teams
are
currently
suspended
following
the
decision
of
the
UEFA
Executive
Committee
of
February
28,
2022
which
has
further
been
confirmed
by
the
Court
of
Arbitration
for
Sport
on
July
15,
2022.
Russia
is
therefore
not
included
in
the
UEFA
European
Football
Championship
2022-24
qualifying
draw,”
a
statement
read.
Germany,
hosts
of
Euro
2024
and
automatic
qualifiers,
will
also
not
be
in
next
month’s
draw,
which
will
produce
seven
groups
of
five
teams
and
three
groups
of
six
teams.
The
53
participating
teams
are
seeded
according
to
the
overall
2022-23
Nations
League
rankings
and
divided
into
seven
pots,
with
the
10
group
winners
and
runners-up
qualifying
for
the
tournament.
Playoffs
will
decide
the
final
three
qualification
spots
for
Euro
2024,
which
is
scheduled
to
begin
on
June
14,
2024.
