FIFA and UEFA confirmed the ban on Russian teams after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and the International Olympic Committee directly banned Russian athletes. When FIFA and UEFA officially announced a total ban on Russia, the Russian Football Association gave a strong response, directly opposing the decision of FIFA and UEFA, believing that such an approach was both unsportsmanlike and inconsistent with relevant regulations.
Unfortunately, the Russian Football Federation is clearly not enough, their opposition is invalid, FIFA and UEFA maintain the decision to ban Russia. Now on March 4, Russia has decided to fight with FIFA and UEFA, and the Russian Football Association has officially confirmed the prosecution of FIFA and UEFA, asking them to revoke the decision to ban Russia.
The Russian announcement said it demanded the resumption of all types of matches such as the Participation of the Russian Men's and Women's Football Team in the World Cup Qualifiers, and demanded compensation if it was not confirmed. The Russian Football Federation believes that the bans of FIFA and UEFA have no law, that they violate the rights of the Russian Football Federation as a member state, including the most basic right to participate in the competition, and are not granted the right to put forward their own position (which is equivalent to being silently stifled in the competition). In addition, the withdrawal from the World Cup was made under pressure from other member states, violating the principles of sports competition and fairness. Russia has appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.
For the operation of the Russian Football Association, the well-known media "Independent" gave an analysis, the newspaper reporter Miguel Delaney said that any case about the Russian Football Association heard by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport will revolve around the idea that they do not represent the Russian country, so they should be allowed to participate in the game. Some non-football associations also argue that Russia can win the appeal. It can be seen that Russia's lawsuit against FIFA and UEFA has a good chance of winning.
However, the media is still worried about the situation after the victory, believing that Poland and other teams that boycott Russia are afraid of withdrawing from the tournament, and they may refuse to play, which will become a headache for FIFA and UEFA, and Russia's current opponent in the semi-finals of the European play-offs of the World Preliminary Tournament is Poland.
Recently, many Polish stars led by Levan have made their attitude clear, bluntly refusing to play with Russia, preferring to be judged to lose 0-3, if Russia really wins, Poland seems to have changed from 3-0 to 0-3, they were previously considered to be straight to the play-off finals because Russia was banned by FIFA, and Russia's victory will directly reverse the plot. At club level, Sparta Moscow's opponent in the Europa League quarter-finals, Leipzig, is currently in a cancelled state and is expected to resume if Russia wins.
