World Cup Hero Goalkeeper Sanctioned by Ukraine President Zelensky

CSKA Moscow goalie Igor Akinfeev, who wrote himself into Russian football legend with his foot save against Spain at the 2018 World Cup, is now written into a list of “sanctioned” people by Ukraine’s govt.

Until 2073, Igor is not allowed visit Ukraine, open a bank account there or appear in news reports – because he works with a charity to help children affected by war.

The list, including 80 sportspeople, published Saturday also includes ice skaters Ilya Averbukh & Liza Tuktamysheva, gymnast Svetlana Khorkina, and shockingly wheelchair bound ex-soccer star Veniamin Mandrykin.
