The Russians, hosts of the last World Cup in 2018, are therefore disqualified from the play-offs of the next edition, which they were to play at the end of March with a ticket at stake for the tournament in Qatar (November 21-December 18), and their female selection will not be able to play the Euro in England in July.
Spartak Moscow, the last Russian club engaged in the European Cup this season, is also excluded.
