UEFA has confirmed Russia has been banned from qualification for Euro 2024 following the invasion of Ukraine.

The country and its clubs have been banned from UEFA and FIFA competitions since the conflict began in February.

The qualifying draw for Euro 2024, which will be hosted by Germany, will take place in Frankfurt on 9 October.

Russia appealed against the bans to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, however, these were dismissed in July.
