The Russian national team will make its inaugural Australian rules football appearance at the 2011 Euro Cup in Belfast next month, along with at least 14 other European nations who will return after previous Cup campaigns.

Besides the Russian Czars, AFL Europe General Manager Ben MacCormack told WFN that Norway, Portugal and Poland are also hoping to make their Euro Cup debut this year, with the full list of competing sides to be released in the near future.
