Polish and Swedish governing football bodies say they would not play their football World Cup qualifiers against Russia in March, following Russia's attack on Ukraine
Poland's national team captain Lewandowski tweeted:"I can't imagine playing a match with the Russian National Team in a situation when armed aggression in Ukraine continues." Poland and Sweden have said that they would not play their football World Cup qualifiers against Russia in March, following Russia's attack on Ukraine.
The playoff matches are set to be held in March to fill a slot for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and several Poland players including captain Robert Lewandowski backed the decision with statements on social media. "The illegal and deeply unjust invasion of Ukraine currently makes all football exchanges with Russia impossible," Swedish Football Association chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson said.
"Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian nation and our friend from the national team, Tomasz Kedziora, who is still in Kiev with his family."
