FIFA and UEFA has suspended Russian Football teams.

[Theones]

I am quite sure that some countries will be willing to adopt Russian athletes as their own, in fact this is not uncommon and unlike some sports even if they had represented Russia before in official events most athletes are still allowed to represent another country due to their own particular circumstances.

And I think that being affected by a war they did not wanted qualifies as one of the circumstances that will allow them to try to represent another country instead of representing Russia as they have being doing so far.

They will because those players are innocent. We should not put the blame to the people in Ukraine other than Putin and his team that attacks the Ukraine but the only problem is if they will be allowed to play for other teams because their country was still under the sanctions. Even if we don't want to, I think the idea behind sanctions is to make everybody struggle on that particular country.

The war can end end soon but I don't think the sanctions are also going to wear off so it's still not possible for the Russian athletes to go back in the game. I guess the only way for them to play is to wait again for the next sporting event.

I agree what you have mentioned - but then again it will not be easy to bring forth the athletes to the audience telling them since Russian players are banned so we thought to hire them to play for our country. I believe it has triggered the same frequence of troubles for the Russian as the troubles are made for the ukrainian nationals - may the war soon end.

The Russian athletes are now starting to suffer the sanctions caused by their very own Putin and they're not allowed anymore to play with other countries. So Putin should be responsible enough to find solutions for this. Otherwise, the athletes will always feel discrimination, and has no choice but to wait for the next sporting event where the sanctions may be lifted by that time. It will be better if they can still play even in local events so that their skills will always be exercised.

One of the problems with this is that for example an accountant can be an accountant for decades and instead of losing their abilities as an accountant as time passes they instead get better at their job.

But in the world of sports losing a few years can be incredibly damaging to the career of an athlete, and not only that those athletes eventually become coaches as well which train the next generation of athletes, which means those years they could lose due to the war will also affect their future students as they were not allowed to reach all their potential due to circumstances outside of their control, which has the potential of decreasing the overall skill level of the whole country in almost all sports.

Wont agree about comparing it on jobs or things that doesnt really involved much physique movement where being accountant that had stopped for decades or years would really be just the same.Of course there would be still some mishaps or forgotten details or things but not really that much since you had this job then you could remember it back in a short span of time.

Same goes into those athletes who had been stopped into their training or playing games which would really result on having that idle state which it could indeed make out some effect.

Lets just accept the fact on what are the things happening now yet lots of things would really be affected in line of it.

The only adequate (and morally correct option in my opinion) is to go to another country and become its citizen or act as an independent athlete. Professional athletes in demand have no problems with this, and if I were such an athlete, I would have left a long time ago 
Waiting for some event (normalization of the situation) that does not depend on you is always a bad choice.

These are the consequences of something that the world does not see, but what are they doing with their attitudes, I know that it is Putin who is acting badly, it is not the athletes, the Russian people are not entirely like him, I do not know, but if they told me that I had to renounce my citizenship no matter how bad my country is, I think I would not do it, just for national identity and not to please the tastes of people who are mostly promoting Xenophobia at a high level, no I am Russian, I only have one friend from my own country who is in Russia, and he tells me that the majority of people there are against this invasion, we and the international organizations have tried to put the Russians very badly, both boycott everything that has to do with them, and I think that is not the way, of course it is my simple opinion, no conflict of any kind is good.

The Russian Federation has suffered negatively from the action of just one man Russian President has refused to back down from the war and this is affecting the entire economy of the country now athletes and sportspeople are are being ban from the international community the FIFA ban will cut short the ambition of many players who could have loved to showcase the talent in the world cup.

Wow. One man committed so many crimes! Whose hands are at war? Whose hands are committing crimes against the civilian population of Ukraine (as in Bucha and other settlements)? Was it all done by Putin alone? I am sure that when all this is over, the propagandists (who are now saying on TV around the clock that the Ukrainians are Nazis and that they must be destroyed) will say so. But adequate people understand that it's not just about Putin alone.

Add in his cronies and those who wants to benefit from this war. There's a lot involved behind the scenes and they just don't want to be where everyone else's attention is. The one to blame will always be Putin, because he's the face of the Russian government for a long time, but I'm sure that he's not alone when he began plotting for the invasion of Ukraine. I'm sure China and NoKor has their hands on deck too, with the support they've been giving Russia on everything except military might.

It's just sad that Russia's athletes are suffering from this war that is the result of the animosity between the West and Russia. Lots of wasted potentials and talents, as they will surely be singled out and isolated from world sporting events that should have been a platform for them to showcase what they can do to the sporting world.

Today I was watching the news and saw Isarlis attacking people of Palastininen.
Here Russians are killing Ukraninens. What will this ban do when powerful will keep suppressing the weakest. I wish if the powerful leaders show some mercy towards other.

This is International politics and the powerful will always oppress the weak and that is how the power play has always been right from the time when the global peace and unity were divided after the world war and the cold war, but with sanctions from other global members the powerful nation's can easily be forced to stop their oppressions.

Fifa have done well in my opinion and the sanction will have a strong effect on the Russian nation.

Yes, it is very strange not to understand that crimes of this magnitude cannot be carried out without the direct participation of hundreds, thousands and even millions of people. And now, while the war is going on, there is no point in determining who is to blame and who is not - the state of Russia is isolated until the war is stopped and the most high-ranking criminals are put in jail. After that, it will be possible to move on to more detailed assessments of the actions of individuals.

[bitgov]

What do you guys think of this development? How will this affect the players and athletes as well as workers in/for the team, how about the forth coming world cup?

In practice, this decision will not affect the organization of the tournament almost at all. Russia wasn't sure if would qualify to the World Cup anyway, so in practice it will look like they just didn't get in.

i don't agree with Russia invading Ukraine or any other country invading another, but they used to always say that they need to keep politics out of sports but show the opposite every time, it's not even the fault of Russian players anyways, why ban their whole team ? the correct thing was to keep politics out of sports, play enjoy and let fans watch and enjoy, politics affect everything in the world now.

the war that occurred between the two countries had such a great impact that it also affected sports, especially Russian football where the Russian national team and were also prohibited from appearing in European competitions and the world cup, of course everyone did not want to leave the country to fight but we also regret the decision taken by the FIFA with the imposition of sanctions on the Russian national team and also several clubs from the country, thus making them absent from competitions under the auspices of FIFA and also UEFA, although this is very unfortunate but the decisions that have been taken by FIFA cannot be reversed

I think the global sport and other financial institutions should consider the citizens of Russia as most of them are not in support of the war and are in solidarity with the Ukrainians, if the FIFA organizers should ban Rusia from this year round of the world cup it will affect the players more than the president or Russian government.

So in the spirit of humanity and the innocent civilians let global institutions and individuals be linen on the citizens

Will the other sports federation ban the powerful countries which are killing innocent lives all over the world.  I doubt that - there are other factors which are involved in it. I think - most of the sections are coming from USA to weaken Russia and make it an isolated country.

What is Russia president don't care about the fifa ban and will even order it citizens not to participate in any global game since their economy is under sanction, I know this is a though time for the world as the Russian invasion of Ukraine comtinues.

It seems Russia have already been suspended from all European competitions and from the World Cup, having cancelled qualifying matches with Poland. I don't know how long such sanctions will last, but I don't think it's fair to the whole country. Russia is not Putin! The whole country regrets what happened and suffers because of one crazy dictator.

There is a big problem with the Russian population which the latest polls (although most probably cheated by Russian state media) tell that 82% of the Russians back what Putin is doing in Ukraine.I don't know about the athletes but most people seem to like him,they are completely devastated the civilians (not the Russian government) by the sanctions yet no one is bold enough to stand up for their rights.I guess Russia is an oppressing country.
