The Luhansk People's Republic football team (or Lugansk)[1] was a team representing the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), a disputed Russian republic in eastern Ukraine.[a] The team was not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA and therefore cannot compete for the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship. Occasionally, the LPR team has been a member of CONIFA, although it currently was not as of November 2022.[2]
