In connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Uefa and Fifa chose to port Russian teams from official football contexts.
Despite that, Russia's men's national team has managed to book several training matches during the autumn, including against Iran and Kyrgyzstan.
The plan was also for them to face Bosnia and Herzegovina on November 19, the day before the World Cup premiere in Qatar.
- I was very shocked when I saw it.
I don't know what to say except that I'm against that match.
We all know what happens and it would be a big mistake to play against Russia.
I have a friend from Ukraine and when I saw this I was really disappointed, former Malmö FF player Anel Ahmedhodzic has said, among other things.
Other players, including Edin Dzeko, have also been critical.
Now it is clear that the match will be postponed.
This is announced by the Bosnian Football Association in a statement.
It is not clear when the match will be played instead.
