Euro 2028 tournament in Russia would be ‘beyond comprehension’, says Boris Johnson
The Independent says it would be “beyond comprehension” for football’s ruling authorities to award Russia the right to host the Euro 2028 tournament, Boris Johnson has said.
The prime minister was speaking after it emerged that Vladimir Putin has launched a last-minute attempt to challenge the bid by the United Kingdom and Ireland.
It had been hoped that the joint UK/Ireland bid would be selected unopposed, but Russia’s Football Union put in an application just hours before the deadline on Wednesday – despite being barred from international football because of the invasion of Ukraine.
