UEFA has decided to take away the right to hold a match for the UEFA Super Cup-2023 in Kazan, xsport.ua reports, according to an ESPN source.

The match between the winners of the Europe League and the Champions League was to take place at the Ak-Bars Arena, which hosted six games of the 2018 World Cup.

St. Petersburg was to host the final of the Champions League of the 2021/22 season, and the russian national team had to play against Poland in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. However, the decisive match of the Champions League, in which "Liverpool" and "Real" will meet, was given to Paris, and the Poles reached the final of the playoffs directly. These are all UEFA sanctions for invading Ukraine.
