Ukraine crisis: FIFA and UEFA ban all Russian clubs and national teams

Football’s world governing body, FIFA, and Europe’s governing body UEFA, have suspended Russian clubs and national teams from all competitions.

The move comes after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials are banned from any organised international competitions.

It means the Russian men’s team will not play their World Cup play-off matches next month and the women’s team have been banned from this summer’s European Championship.
