The world media is reacting to the decision to give up the game with Russia. “Huge pressure on Infantino”

. This is, of course, a reaction to the military attack on Ukraine. The meeting was to take place on March 24 in Moscow. and his colleagues, however, definitely cannot imagine a clash with the Russians, when they unleashed a cruel war.

World Media is alive with the decision of Poles to boycott the play-off with Russia. “Enormous pressure on Gianni Infantino”

“We, the players of the Polish national team, together with the PZPN, decided that as a result of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, we do not intend to play in the play-off match with Russia. It is not an easy decision, but there are more important things in life than football. Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian nation. and our friend from the national team, Tomek Kędziora, who is still in Kiev with his family, “we read in the footballers’ statement.

By the decision of the PZPN and Polish footballers, the media around the world live. As the most important sports news of the day, they describe it, among others Sky Sports, BBC, Guardian, “Sport Bild”, “L’Equipe” or “Marca”. The acclaimed journalist of “The Associated Press”, Rob Harris, pointed out that the position of Poles may have an impact on decisions which, to the outrage of the sports community, have still not brought serious consequences towards Russia.

“Enormous pressure on Poland’s Gianni Infantino telling FIFA he doesn’t want to play in the World Cup qualifying play-off match,” wrote Harris. Miguel Delaney, the journalist of “The Independent”, made a similar statement.

“Poland refuses to play with Russia in the play-offs – a huge headache for FIFA after yesterday’s weak statement,” we read in the Twitter post.

“and they should agree to the complete removal of Russia from the qualification for the World Cup. Slovakia may take a place in the play-offs with Poland (which was third in the first round group – Croatia won the group with Russia in second place)” – this is the opinion of the British writer Dr. Rakiba Ehsana.

The president of FIFA has so far avoided specific answers to questions about Russia’s attack on Ukraine. However, the situation may change in the next few hours, as the Swedes have followed in the footsteps of the Poles.

The Poles hope that the Czech federation will also decide to boycott the match with Russia. PZPN is to persuade our neighbors to do so. The journalist Sebastian Staszewski said that the prime minister and minister Kamil Bortniczuk were involved in the matter.
