FIFA and UEFA have suspended Russian national teams and clubs from all competitions until further notice.
The Russian men’s team have been banned from playing Poland in a World Cup qualifying playoff on March 24, while the women’s team won’t be competing at Euro 2022.
Spartak Moscow have also been booted out of the Europa League. Their Round of 16 opponents, RB Leipzig, will advance to the quarter-finals.
Poland, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Scotland, Republic of Ireland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales are all refusing to play Russia in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
It comes after FIFA initially allowed Russia to play matches at neutral venues without spectators and without their national anthem or flag.
FIFA and UEFA released a joint statement saying: “Following the initial decisions adopted by the FIFA Council and the UEFA Executive Committee, which envisaged the adoption of additional measures, FIFA and UEFA have today decided together that all Russian teams, whether national representative teams or club teams, shall be suspended from participation in both FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice.
“These decisions were adopted today by the Bureau of the FIFA Council and the Executive Committee of UEFA, respectively the highest decision-making bodies of both institutions on such urgent matters.
“Football is fully united here and in full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine. Both Presidents hope that the situation in Ukraine will improve significantly and rapidly so that football can again be a vector for unity and peace amongst people.”
