Czech Republic has joined Poland and Sweden to refuse to play Russia in a qualifying playoff set to determine a spot in the World Cup.
The Czech Republic is the fourth team in their qualifying bracket.
The Czech FA executive committee, staff members and players of the national team said it’s not possible to play against the Russian national team in the current situation, “not even on the neutral venue,” the Czech federation said in a statement.
“We all want the war to end as soon as possible.”
They also said the decision not to play was unanimous.
