All Russian soccer clubs have been barred from taking part in the 2022/23 season of the Champions League, European football's governing body UEFA announced on Monday.
"Russia will have no affiliated clubs participating in UEFA club competitions in the 2022/23 season," it said in a statement.
The Russian national team and clubs had been banned from competitions "until further notice" shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine.
The confirmation that Russian men's soccer clubs will not be allowed to take part in the Champions League came as UEFA also confirmed the exclusion of Russia from the Women's European Championship in England in July.
Russia's bids to host the men's Euros in 2028 or 2032 were also rejected. The bids had both been launched after the war began.
Russia was hit with a slew of sport bans following its invasion of Ukraine, including being barred from taking part in this year's men's World Cup set to take place in Qatar, DW reports.
