'Everything was approved before (by UEFA)'

That was the reaction from the Ukraine FA on Thursday after UEFA asked them to remove a 'political slogan' from their Euro 2020 shirts.

UEFA - who had originally approved rthe shirts were reactiong to a protest by Russia

The shirt, containing a map showing Russian-annexed Crimea as part of Ukraine also included the phrase "Glory to the heroes".
