The UEFA Champions League, CEV Cup and Challenge Cup will be played in the 2023/2024 season without Russian and Belarusian teams. This, of course, applies to both men’s and women’s clubs. This is an official decision from CEV. So EU officials endorsed the suspension that began last year, when Russian forces, supported by Belarus, attacked the territory of Ukraine.
