UEFA Backs Out Of Decision To Readmit Russia U17s

Wontumi1Sports,

Wontumi2Sports, , , ,
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has apologised to fans of both Liverpool and Real Madrid over the events surrounding the 2022 Champions League final.

Claims from both UEFA and French authorities that 'ticketless fans' were…
