Sports sanctions against Russia are increasing.

After football, Monday night, it's volley's turn to strike.

The organization of the 2022 World Cup, scheduled for August and September, has thus been withdrawn from Russia due to the war in Ukraine, the international federation (FIVB) announced on Tuesday.

Did the threats of withdrawal from major nations weigh in on this decision?

Respectively Olympic and world champions, France and Poland announced last weekend their intention to boycott this event if it were to be held in Russia.

The new host country is to be announced later, the FIVB said.
