FIFA and UEFA has suspended Russian Football teams.

[retreat]

Finally, the Russian football federation or RFS appealed the sanctions that had been given by FIFA and UEFA against the Russian national team which was disqualified from the world cup play-off round and also Spartak Moscow who had to exit the last 16 of the UEFA Europe League early after being disqualified by UEFA. Strict steps were taken by the Russian football federation considering that there was no connection at all between the invasion and the war with Ukraine. FIFA and UEFA have criticized the political actions taken by some players and supporters when providing support for Palestine but currently UEFA and FIFA have quite different views with Russia invasion right now.

on the another side I see that the decision to ban the russian team from fifa is a bit unfair, it's true what the russian football federation said, the invasion by the putin government should not be a reason to be banned but I also realize that this step was taken by fifa to put pressure on putin. I still hope that the best way can be found because it is a pity if the Russian team gets banned from the world cup.

I guess no.

The sport should not follow any kind of politic, while they already got economy sanction but we still ban their sport access ~LOL. I still remember while some football player using a word after the match "Pray for Palestine" and guess what.

FIFA responding should not using sport as politic.

But FIFA have final decision after banned Russia for participating on world cup play off round against with Poland, I think FIFA still not remember with how hundred thousand Palestine citizen victim after Israel invasion and punish almost several player when celebrate with support freedom to Palestine, but now have different think when Ukraine get invasion by Russian and FIFA mixing politic with football. I think have to stop with FIFA about justice punishment getting for every country make invasion and have to banned them on FIFA competition. Still have many countries like United State will get banned from FIFA after their invasion war to Iraq and many other countries as victim from US invasion war but FIFA keep silent without mixing between politic and football.

This FIFA involvement in political matters may further lead to more crisis as Vladimir Putin has announced that Russia will play in the 2022 FIFA world cup or there will not be the world cup at all, this speaks to further threats to global peace. The football tournament is aimed at unifying the world and promoting peace but getting involved in political war matters as sensitive as this will deter global peace.

This is impossible! I tried to find something about this and couldn't, it looks like this is just another lie in a row! I've been talking about it for days, this propaganda war is amazing! So much lies from all sides, so much false information is placed in all possible ways that a normal person can no longer recognize what is real and what is not!
Another way to portray a dictator in the worst possible light, a person who wants to ruin the World Cup, wow! Now let's all hate him, he's inhuman! Let's face it, I don't support Putin, I don't like politics and their games, and even less I like to read such nonsense that obviously only serves as a tool in war! This is a good example of how the sport is directly involved in politics and war! With fake news and provocations! And in an indirect way, all the rest of us who love and follow sports!

[RILWAN]

Western countries are eager to impose ban on Russia in whatsoever manner possible! This sports ban is just a part of it! There are obviously many countries who are not willing to play with Russia or keep any association with them at this moment. But do you think Russia deserves this?

If invading to Ukraine is the reason, US should have been banned from the world for invading Iraq and Afghanistan. Look at those countries now, they have completely collapsed due to the aggression from US which was initiated in the name of war against terrorism. Today's Russian attack on Ukraine is happening as NATO wanted to include Ukraine in their group despite not being eligible.

This is really unfair to Russia.
The decision not to include Russia in the World Cup is purely a political decision of America and its allies. even though we know that FIFA has always said that politics should not interfere in this football. Maybe this applies only to them, and in their favor because FIFA is under their control.

I feel for the citizens of Russia they never want war but are now the most hit by this war with lots of sanctions and bans in international support communities. The world football federation body may have hard it hard on Russia but then that is the bad side of war everybody loses. Let's hope things get better before the kick-off of the 2022 game.

@ iv4n Yes you are right that there are lies in sports just like we have these allegation and accusation about Putin threat that Russia will forcefully play in the world cup, this is yet to be proved with the link I asked for. Likewise also fans of football teams especially make lies and hype their teams even in the face of glaring impossibility. They blindly support their teams with likes "because they are fans and they don't need to say the truth " 

[naira]

Is this so wide that the FIFA sector, which should be more objective, is no longer independent? As far as I know in sports whether this is really the right thing to do, especially in football, there shouldn't be sanctions like this. I know there will be many who will oppose what I say. Just want to see that this situation is a sanction that should also be applied to Israel if FIFA really wants to impose sanctions. You know the annexation there, right? Why doesn't FIFA give sanctions too? the answer is only one and let it mumble in your mind and think for a moment to ask the same question. Which is why, because has Israel been around for years?

Sorry sorry for that but I hard in an interview, the statement was was made during the  interview with the Russian minister of defense, I can find the link but am very sure of the information. I will try to get my hands on the link and will share the link here to prove my point but my view is what we stand to lose in war is higher than any political power play or military might.

Well there was a strong word if that was actually said. The world leaders are really trying hard to manage the war (which Putin says is invasion). I hope the fight stops as talks are still going on but to no success yet. The third round of discussion will continue on Monday between Russia and Ukraine.
There is no gain war , even the Russian Army is losing personal, tanks, helicopters and fighter planes.

[_act_]

But FIFA have final decision after banned Russia for participating on world cup play off round against with Poland, I think FIFA still not remember with how hundred thousand Palestine citizen victim after Israel invasion and punish almost several player when celebrate with support freedom to Palestine, but now have different think when Ukraine get invasion by Russian and FIFA mixing politic with football.  politic and football.

I do not think this is sport mixing with politics, I do not see anything bad to sanction Russia, Russia invaded a peaceful country, killing innocent people. What could be more than massacre?  Nikita Mazepin which is a formula one driver has been scaked today and there should be more to come by sanctions. There is nothing bad for Russia to ceasefire but just want to take down Ukraine and turn it to a country it controls. I believe Russia has been expecting all these sanctions as a result of its action on Ukraine invasion. I do not support anyone or any country but the war should end which is one of the reason for sanctions and a way Russia will later not be able to fund the war.

[RILWAN]

Russian want to add Ukraine to the list of pro-Russia countries as the invasion has been aimed at achieving that aim, I don't personally see anything wrong with FIFA sanction on Russia from the world football league even the premier league match have all aired in solidarity with Ukraine.

It is very difficult to distinguish things like this, the treatment is not really the same and now it seems like it seems to be giving a lesson to Russia not to do things that are very detrimental to some parties but with different treatment as you said of course this is one of the things that seems thick will be Political and side with a Party.
things like this can not be separated because it is very difficult to separate greed from brotherhood

[ajochems]

If you want my answer with emotions, my answer will be good decision. Because Russia stands on war was not changed yet.Most of us not get out from the corona impact and Corona news. What made Russian to fight and kill the people of Ukraine. Only the International idea person can give a clear explanation for this. After corona, many country was recovering only now, but this war news was unacceptable to many country peoples.

I strongly agree that sanctions are indeed necessary and should be given to teach a lesson to countries involved in war, but what the Russian Football Association has said in my opinion is also quite reasonable, because with the implementation of sanctions imposed on Russia, FIFA has violated the basic rights and also the principle of sport that should not be involved in politics, besides this, it is precisely now that FIFA has shown a discriminatory attitude by imposing sanctions on Russia and in fact they have not taken a stand on what Israel has done so far to Palestine, I think now this is precisely why people began to blaspheme and question the attitude of FIFA which seems to have double standards for applying sanctions to Russia.

Don't just base your argument around Russia invading a peaceful country like they are the first country to invade another country, and in truth this is to show that Politics and political situations have an effect on sports. I'm also particularly concerned about the stigma that some of their athletes will he facing for just being Russian, i hope it doesn't drive any of them into taking their own lives.

FIFA has done the right move. Sports is a medium to promote peace, whatsoever - the superpower have not right to stamped the weak country and then play happily and enjoy the game and be victorious. The world should learn the lesson the in modern days the war is not will one nation but it is with complete world. But the best interest of everyone concern is safety and security of the affected.

This is very terrible for innocent sport men just because of one person's decisions many are suffering it . This is even their source of income,  no more flow of money. The funniest thing about it is that the players are not in support of puttins action , maybe this is the way Russia can be punished for invading Ukraine.

^ I don't know how it works or how it will punish by the law and probably Putin deserves it to be punished.
Not only athletes here are affected, not only the gambling industry has been affected, all major international businesses that own by Russian investors was been now suffering, it may also be a threat to collapse their economy. Now, it suspended the Russian football team and I think they already accept their loss. I hope soon will be okay and back to normal.
