As Russia continues its invasion into Ukraine, FIFA is the latest sporting governing body to announce measures against Russia. In line with recommendations from the International Olympic Committee, FIFA on Sunday announced that no international competition would be played on Russian territory, with home games taking place at neutral sites and without spectators; the team will participate under the name „Football Union of Russia“ (RFU) and not Russia; and the Russian flag will not be displayed and the anthem will not be played during competitions. FIFA said these measures were applicable until further notice and were unanimously decided by the organization’s president and six confederation presidents.
