Russia will not be allowed to play in Under-17 European Championship qualifying games this month, European football’s governing body UEFA said on Tuesday.

For the last two weeks, UEFA staff explored inserting Russia into its men’s and women’s youth competitions despite having already drawn the qualifying groups. Each group was due to play all its games spread over several days in a single host country.

After assessing how Russian youth teams could be reintegrated, UEFA said after another executive committee meeting on Tuesday that “the agenda point was withdrawn as no technical solution to allow Russian teams to play could be found.”

The policy provoked a split in UEFA’s executive committee and at least 12 of the 55 European member federations said their teams would continue to refuse to play games against Russia.

The football associations of England, Sweden and Poland all committed to not participating in games against Russia’s youth teams. Ukraine’s FA went further, refusing to play in any competitions in which Russian teams were permitted.
