Sports World Takes a Stance Against Russian Invasion

FIFA and UEFA announced their decision on Feb. 28 to ban Russia and the country’s pro teams from competing in world competitions, including the 2022 World Cup, Champions League and Europa League. The Champions League final was originally going to be played in St. Petersburg but has since been switched to Paris. These outcomes all stem from Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
