Russia will not take part in the draw for qualifying for Euro 2024, UEFA and the country's football federation confirmed on Tuesday.
The Russian national team and Russian clubs were banned from international competitions earlier this year by UEFA following the invasion of Ukraine.
"All Russian teams are currently suspended following the decision of the UEFA Executive Committee of 28 February 2022 which has further been confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 15 July 2022," European football's governing body said in a statement.
"Russia is therefore not included in the UEFA European Football Championship 2022-24 qualifying draw."
Russia saw an appeal against the ban rejected by CAS in July.
"The Union is currently awaiting the full text of the CAS decision, following the study of which a decision will be made on further steps," the Russian Football Union said.
Russia was also banned from the upcoming World Cup in Qatar by FIFA.
The team had originally qualified for the European qualifying playoffs.
The Russian women's side was also kicked out of this year's Euro in England, with their place taken by Portugal.
The 2024 European Championship will be hosted by Germany, with the qualifying draw set for October 9 in Frankfurt.
Germany's interior minister has also asked for Belarus to be banned from the tournament due to the country's backing of Russia.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
