We are all waiting for the play-offs between Poland and Russia in Moscow. The match is scheduled to take place on March 24. Both teams are preparing for this meeting, although recent events give rise to doubts as to the rightness of organizing the clash in the area. This is the result of decisions made by the recognition of the independence of two self-proclaimed republics in Donbas – Donetsk and Lugansk. Units of Russian troops also appeared in these regions, which was explained by their concern for peace in the region. The situation becomes more and more tense.
. At the moment, the scenario of postponing the match to another place is unlikely. “Nevertheless, the PZPN will officially express its concern about the situation to which Russia has led. PZPN may argue that Polish footballers will not feel safe in Moscow,” we read in the statement.
Jan Tomaszewski calms the fans. “There is no way that FIFA cannot guarantee security”
The former goalkeeper calls for peace. – Let’s remember. We only make fun of these calls to FIFA! The decision on where the Russia-Poland match will be played belongs to the world federation. And only to her! PZPN can at most stamp your foot in FIFA’s toilet, and politicians should not interfere in this. it is a state within a state and they decide about it. If they decide that the match is to be held in Moscow, it should be like that. And if we do not go, it will be a walkover for our rivals – he said in an interview with “”.

According to Tomaszewski, the situation in which FIFA is currently located is similar to that in which the president of the Polish Football Association was during the selection of the coach. – If we impose something on FIFA now, they will take it like a whip. Do you remember how all of Poland suggested that the coach should be Shevchenko, then Nawa³ka, this is Stolarczyk? And Kulesza put his way and chose Michniewicz. It’s the same here. We can talk and manage, and FIFA will do its job and you have to respect that – he said.
So should we be concerned about the safety of the white and reds if the match is played as planned? – There is no way that FIFA does not guarantee the safety of our players. If he finds a threat, the match will simply not take place – says Tomaszewski.
The match with Russia will take place on March 24. If the Poles win this match, they will face the winner of the match between Sweden and the Czech Republic in the 2022 World Cup finals. The match will be played on March 29 at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów.
