<p class="has-medium-font-size">It has been gathered that FIFA is set to suspend Russia until further notice following the Ukraine invasion that has left many including civilians dead.</p>



<p>Fifa&#8217;s suspension would mean Russia&#8217;s exclusion from the men&#8217;s World Cup qualification play-offs in March.</p>

<p>The IOC has urged sport governing bodies not to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete because of a &#8220;breach of the Olympic Truce&#8221; by those countries&#8217; governments.</p>



<p>It comes after Russia, supported by Belarus, launched a military invasion of neighbouring Ukraine last Thursday.</p>



<p>Fifa had earlier ruled that Russia must complete their upcoming games in neutral territory, under the title Football Union of Russia, and without their flag and anthem.</p>

<p>However, the announcement drew criticism &#8211; and Scotland and the Republic of Ireland joined several other nations, including England and Wales, as well as Poland, the Czech Republic and Sweden, in refusing to play against Russia.</p>



<p>Russia are scheduled to face Poland in the play-offs on the same day, followed by a final meeting with the Czech Republic or Sweden on 29 March, should they win.</p>



<p>Russia&#8217;s women are also set to compete at the Women&#8217;s Euro 2022 in England in July where they are in a group with the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.</p>



<p>The International Paralympic Committee is to meet on Wednesday to discuss Russia, just two days before the start of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games.</p>
