Russia’s football federation has filed an appeal against the suspension of Russian national teams and clubs from all FIFA and UEFA competitions over the invasion of Ukraine, the sport’s top court said on Tuesday.
The FUR is asking the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to stay the hanging for suspension, in order to allow Russia to play in the 2022 World Cup playoff against Poland which was to be played on March 24.
CAS said in a statement that it has initiated two separate arbitration procedures targeting FIFA and UEFA respectively, as well as the 15 national federations that have refused to play against the Russians.
The court said it would give more details of the proceedings in the next few days, when it decided on requests to stay the execution of each of the decisions that Russia is challenging.
