FIFA and UEFA have suspended Russian national teams and clubs from all international soccer competitions "until further notice," the organizations announced on Monday. The suspension, which comes after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, will likely leave the Russian team out of the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
"Football is fully united here and in full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine," the entities said in a statement. "Both Presidents hope that the situation in Ukraine will improve significantly and rapidly so that football can again be a vector for unity and peace amongst people."
FIFA oversees soccer worldwide while UEFA, one of six continental organizations, governs the sport in Europe. The latter also announced it ended its partnership with Gazprom, a Russian majority state-owned energy company that is one of UEFA's main sponsors.
