Russia Teams Suspended From World Cup, European Championships

Russia has been suspended from the 2022 World Cup and other international soccer competitions.

  • In a joint statement, FIFA and UEFA announced that Russian national teams would not be allowed to compete in the World Cup or any qualifying matches, or in July's European Championships.
  • FIFA said the soccer world was "in full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine".
  • Is this the right decision by FIFA? Will it extend to other international sports?
