Russia draws objection against World Cup

The World Cup exclusion of the Russian football national team because of the crime war against Ukraine is final.

As the International Sports Courts Court of Justice announced CAS on Tuesday, the Russian Association retired his appeal against the decision of the World Association FIFA. The procedure will be discontinued shortly.

In a first step, the CAS had rejected the request of the Russians to expand the FIFA decision initially. The playoffs for the last European tickets for the finals in Qatar were therefore held without the Russian team. The opponent Poland was automatically qualified for the playoff finale and sat down with 2-0 against Sweden.

However, the opposition to the exclusion of Russian clubs from the European Cup, the Russian Association held upright, although in this case the CAS had rejected the urgent application against the sanctions of the European Football Union. The judgment is not yet final. However, this principle decision is expected in a few weeks.
