Earlier, FIFA and UEFA announced that They would ban Russian men's and women's football teams from participating in the World Preliminary Tournament and the World Cup, and also prohibit them from participating in all competitions under the FIFA and UEFA umbrellas. This news caused dissatisfaction from the Russian Football Federation, and then they rose to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, demanding that FIFA and UEFA suspend this improper punishment. And now, the international court of arbitration for sport has come to award penalties, and they support the choice of FIFA and UEFA. I have to say that the Russian men's football team cannot participate in the World Cup.
Recently, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport announced: "The Russian national team and Russian clubs will continue to be banned from participating in all FIFA competitions. The arbitral proceedings are still ongoing and it remains to be determined when the hearing will take place. The content of this official announcement is explained by the editor that the appeal of the Russian Football Federation was not completely rejected, but their request for a suspension of punishment during the appeal period was rejected. And this time it was rejected, it can be said to be very funny, because this is a precedent set by the Russian Football Association.
Previously, when many clubs and football associations were punished, as long as they appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, they would suspend their punishment during the appeal period. Of course, there are many such examples, before Manchester City was banned from the Champions League, they also appealed, and the penalty was suspended during the appeal period. This time, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport actually refused to suspend the punishment of the Russian men's and women's national teams, which also shows that they do not support the appeal of the Russian Football Association and may uphold the penalty decisions of FIFA and UEFA.
I have to say that this seems to be a bit of a double standard. Seeing the treatment of Russian men's and women's feet, Xiaobian suddenly remembered two things. Because Saudi Arabia and Iran broke off diplomatic relations, in the 2018 AFC Champions League, Saudi clubs refused to travel to Iran to participate in the game, when FIFA president Infantino publicly stated: "Politics should not affect football matches, it is clear that politics should be far away from football, football should not involve politics, should be away from politics. And in 2016, when the current UEFA president Ceferin took office, he said: "We (UEFA) should stay away from political intrigue. (Satirical Platini et al.) And now it seems that their original remarks are really a bit like..., like what, you say it!
