Cas's decision has nothing to do with the playoff game for the World Cup in Qatar, but can give a clue as to how Cas views the sport's sanctions against Russia and how it will be judged in the appeal that applies to the playoff game for the World Cup.

Cas writes in his decision that they will make a statement on that issue at the end of this week.

The Russian Football Federation appealed the decision of the International Football Federation (FIFA) to stop the Russian national team from playing in the World Cup playoffs in March.

Russia would have met Poland on March 24 and in case of victory meet the winner of the match Sweden-Czech Republic on March 29.

Fifa has decided to give Poland a direct place in the play-off final on March 29.

As for Tuesday's decision in Cas, UEFA's stop for games in the Europa League for Spartak Moscow remains.

Russian junior and youth national teams are also not allowed to play championship qualifiers.

In the long run, if the war in Ukraine continues, the Russian women's national team will not be allowed to play in the European Championships in England, where they are drawn in the same group as Sweden.

Russian activists and teams have been stopped from internationally competing and matching in many sports since the country invaded Ukraine in February.
