Just few days after the Federation of International Football Associations and the European Football Union dropped their sledge hammer on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Football Union said it will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to appeal against its ban from international competitions.
The union said it would file one lawsuit against football’s world and European governing bodies, demanding Russia’s men’s and women’s national teams be allowed to compete.
Russia wants its national teams reinstated to play their men’s World Cup play-off matches next month and the women’s team once again included in this summer’s Euro 2022 competition in England.
