INVASION: FIFA Unveils Plan For Poland As It Kicks Russia Out Of 2022 World Cup
The International football governing body (FIFA) has removed Russia from the 2022 World Cup qualification round.
FIFA made the decision following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s insistence to launch military operations in Ukraine.
Poland was drawn against Russia in the semi-final of the playoff process days earlier. But the Polish FA and players insisted they will not honor the match.
Poland will now face either Sweden or the Czech Republic in the final.
A statement from FIFA reads, “Subsequent to the decision of 28 February 2022 taken jointly with the UEFA Executive Committee to suspend all Russian teams from participation in both FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice, the Bureau of the FIFA Organizing Committee decided that Poland will receive a bye to the final of Path B due to take place on 29 March 2022, in which they will face the winners of the match between Sweden and the Czech Republic.”
