Russia set to return to FIFA tournaments at first U-15 World Cup
The first FIFA U-15 World Cup, scheduled for October, will be open to all member associations, paving the way for Russia's return since a ban was imposed in 2022. FIFA lifted the ban on Russian U-17 teams in 2023, but Russia has still been absent from U-17 events as several European countries continue to boycott. The U-15 tournament is set to run from October 22 for nine days in Azerbaijan.
