The International Football Federation (FIFA) has imposed sanctions on the Russian Football Union (RFU), which means a number of bans for national teams. This was reported on the website of the organization.
The Russian national teams were deprived of the right to play matches under the auspices of FIFA in the country. Now the games will be held on neutral territory and without spectators. In addition, the players of the national teams of Russia will play under the auspices of the RFU. They are also prohibited from using national symbols, the flag and anthem of the country.
FIFA allowed additional sanctions. The organization confirmed that they are consulting on this matter with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
In addition, FIFA will study the position of the football authorities of Poland, the Czech Republic and Sweden, who opposed the holding of play-offs for access to the 2022 World Cup against the Russian team.
