[2]

On 28 February 2022, FIFA and UEFA announced that Russia was suspended from all competitions. [3] [4] On 2 May 2022, UEFA announced that Russia would no longer be allowed to take part in the competition, that their previous results were nullified, and that Group C would continue with five teams.
