The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, the representative organization of over one million Americans of Ukrainian descent, calls upon the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) to revoke Russia’s privilege to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
“President Putin’s blatant breach of international law, Russia’s illegal invasion and occupation of Crimea and its ongoing support of Pro-Russian terrorist activities and terrorist forces in Eastern Ukraine clearly violate the principles on which FIFA is based and undermine the spirit of international sporting competitions,” UCCA President, Tamara Olexy, stated.
The UCCA strongly urges FIFA to add its voice to that of the international community and condemn Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine by reversing its decision to allow Russia to host 2018 World Cup.
