World football association FIFA is considering allowing Russian teams back into international football.
Russia has been banned from participating in international football tournaments since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The decision would mean that Russia is welcome again at youth tournaments such as the Under-17 World Cup.
Last week, the European Football Union UEFA announced that Russian youth teams will again be allowed to participate in international football tournaments in Europe.
Senior teams will remain excluded as long as Russia wages war in Ukraine.
