Russian Clubs Banned From Signing Turkish Players During Winter Break

Russian clubs "will be banned from signing Turkish players during the upcoming winter break," according to the BBC. Relations between the countries "have been strained since a Russian warplane was shot down by Turkish forces on the Syrian border, killing one pilot." Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said clubs had "already got the message." Mutko said that "the sports sanctions would not affect Turkish players currently playing" for Russian football clubs. Mutko said, "Everyone who has an existing contract will carry on working." He added that Turkish companies "already involved in constructing stadiums for the 2018 World Cup in Russia would be allowed to continue." The sports ministry "has also recommended that Russian football clubs cancel winter training camps to Turkey" (BBC, 11/29).
