[Saba Sports News] Recently, Maxim Mitrofanov, the Secretary General of the Russian Football Association, revealed important news during a media interview, stating that some European countries currently support Russia’s return to football, with only about 30% opposing it. Mitrofanov indicated that compared to the German government, the German football community may have a more open and tolerant stance on the issue of lifting the ban on Russian football, with Germany being one of the countries supporting this move. This position may stem from the German football community’s emphasis on sports diplomacy and a desire to promote international exchange and cooperation through the global sport of football. Aside from Germany, other countries have varied attitudes toward the lifting of the ban on Russian football. Some nations may oppose it based on political stances or historical issues, while others may hold a neutral or supportive position.
