УЕФА выдал категории 18 российским арбитрам на сезон-2026/27

The Union of European Football Associations has officially assigned professional categories to 18 Russian referees for the upcoming 2026/27 season. This administrative move confirms the inclusion of these officials in the governing body's roster for international competitions. Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions that have led to the suspension of Russian clubs and national teams from UEFA-sanctioned tournaments, the organization continues to maintain a framework for individual match officials. The list includes referees who will be eligible to officiate matches under the UEFA umbrella during the specified period. This development highlights a distinction between the participation of national squads and the professional status of individual arbiters within the European football structure.

The decision underscores UEFA's ongoing professional engagement with Russian football officials despite the broader international sporting sanctions currently in place.
