UEFA is under increasing pressure to cut ties with Russian state energy company Gazprom, after Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine.
Gazprom, which is majority-owned by the Russian government, is one of the major sponsors of European football's governing body.
Russia's attack on Ukraine entered its second day on Friday, with more than 130 people killed.
UEFA has had a sponsorship deal with Gazprom since 2012, and it spends about €40m a year backing the Champions League, European Championships and Nations League. It renewed its latest three-year deal last May.
