❗️Ukrainian Football Association Appeals to FIFA and UEFA Over Map Error
The Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) has sent an official letter to FIFA and UEFA after Crimea was omitted from Ukraine on a draw map.
In the letter addressed to FIFA Secretary General Mathias Grafström and UEFA Secretary General Theodore Theodoridis, the UAF stated:
“The version of the cartographic depiction of Ukraine is absolutely unacceptable and appears inconsistent with FIFA and UEFA’s positions, particularly amidst the ongoing destructive war of aggression unleashed by Russia against Ukraine in the heart of Europe in the 21st century.”
The UAF demanded an explanation and correction of the error, emphasizing the importance of accurately representing Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.
