European football family may easily grow

After the precedent on Tuesday, where Kosovo is admitted to UEFA, the European football organization  may receive new application for membership. Crimea Football Union (CFU) wants to become fifty-sixth member after Kosovo's unlawful acceptance earlier in the week.
In an interview for the Russian TASS agency, CFU president Yury Vetokha among other things said: ' I personally do not see how our [Kosovo and Crimea] situations differ. It [Kosovo] is also an unrecognized republic. [FIFA president] Gianni Infantino met with [Russian sports minister] Vitaly Mutko and they also discussed the issue of integrating Crimea into the world football - step by step. We do understand that it will not happen quickly, but we have fulfilled all of the set requirements.'
CFU is having a special status within UEFA.
