FIFA, UEFA Suspend Russia Until Further Notice

UEFA also announced they will be terminating their deal with energy company Gazprom.

Gazprom is majority-owned by the Russian state and is also major sponsor of the Champions League.

The suspension means that, barring an unlikely change of course in the Russian invasion, the country will not be able to face Poland in a World Cup play-off semi-final next month.
