Football News : England will not play any fixtures against Russia for foreseeable future

The England Football Association have announced they will not play any matches against Russia in any international games for the foreseeable future following the invasion of Ukraine.

In a statement on Sunday the FA said this includes any potential match at any level of senior, age group or para football.

Russia have qualified for the Women's European Championship which is being hosted by England in June.

The decision comes after announcements by the football associations of Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic - all future or potential opponents of Russia in World Cup qualifying - that they will refuse to play Russia at any venue.

FIFA have also made the decision to ban Russia from hosting any international match at home - a Russian Football Union (RFU) team can only play on neutral territory and without spectators.
