According to the association, the goal is the reintegration of all men’s and women’s teams into the tournaments, as well as compensation. At the same time, the RFU had submitted an application to suspend the measures. This has now been rejected for the UEFA competitions, in the case of FIFA a result is still pending.
World Cup play-offs: bye for Poland
It is not surprising that the CAS has also announced a timely judgment on this. Time is of the essence. Russia’s men’s national football team was originally scheduled to play Poland in the World Cup play-offs in Qatar on March 24. Now Poland have a bye, are in the second round of the play-offs and will play a friendly against Scotland instead of Russia.
Unless the CAS still grants the Russian objection regarding FIFA, but that is unlikely.
