Calls for ‘all-encompassing ban’ on Belarus over Russia row

Uefa president Alexander Ceferin is the subject of calls to ban Belarus from European Championship qualifying this year in an extension of the row over Russian participation in international sport.

The Labour peer George Foulkes has written to Ceferin asking him to reconsider the organisation’s position on Belarus, given the support the country has shown to its Russian neighbour during the war in Ukraine.
