The latest news .. “FIFA” shocked Russia with an official decision, “Rejoice, Leva.”
The International Football Association (FIFA) confirmed on Tuesday that the Polish national team, led by its star Robert Lewandowski, has officially qualified for the second track of the qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, at the expense of Russia, which kept it away from international competitions.
Russia was scheduled to host its counterpart Poland on March 24 in the semi-finals, with the qualifier facing the winner of the confrontation of Sweden and Czech Republic on the 29th of it, but FIFA decided to exclude Russia from its international competitions because of its invasion of Ukraine.
"Following the decision issued on February 28, which was taken jointly with UEFA, to suspend the participation of all Russian teams in all FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice, FIFA has decided to officially qualify Poland for the final of the play-off of the second track," he said in a statement.
The International Federation also decided to postpone the confrontation with Scotland and Ukraine, which was scheduled for the current 24th as well, and to hold it next June.
"The Scotland-Ukraine match has been postponed to take place in June, and therefore the second match on this track between Wales and Austria will also be postponed," FIFA said.
