Iran Press/ Europe: The conflict in Ukraine began on February 24 after Russia announced a special military operation in response to the West’s failure to meet Moscow’s security demands.
Russia has said its operation in Ukraine is not a start to the war, but an attempt to prevent a global war.
The country were kicked out of Qatar 2022 last month amid their ongoing military conflict with Ukraine.
FIFA awarded Poland a bye through its playoff semifinal against Russia that was scheduled on March 24. That decision was tested by an urgent Russian appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against a FIFA ban on its national teams.
But the world football's governing body turf Russia out of World Cup contention following the country's special military operation in Ukraine.
With scant consideration for the update from CAS on Tuesday, 08 March, FIFA announced that Poland will move through to the final of their playoff path, and will meet either the Czechs or Sweden for a place in April's group stage draw for Qatar 2022.
