Poland will refuse to play Russia in their World Cup play-off match next month, their football federation have confirmed.
Robert Lewandowski and co were due to face Valeri Karpin's side in Moscow on Thursday, March 24 but have now decided to boycott following the horrific attacks on Ukraine ordered by Vladimir Putin this week.
Their decision comes after pleading for the game to be played in a different location alongside Sweden and the Czech Republic, who could subsequently face Russia in the final, although FIFA were unwilling to make a move at this stage.
