Finland introduces restrictions on the entry of Russians, including professional athletes. This was reported by the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The innovations will take effect on November 16.
"The new restrictions apply to short-term work on a visa, including professional sports."
According to the decree, the changes will apply to the granting of visas for work trips up to 90 days.
Following the changes, entry permits will only be granted to those whose work is critical to Finland's national interests.
Earlier, Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev said that teams that boycott matches with the Russian national team will face a technical defeat, and countries that create obstacles to its participation will lose the right to host tournaments.
