The Russian Football Union (RFS) is considering leaving European football permanently after their UEFA-imposed ban.
Russia 's clubs and their national teams have been banned from taking part in footballing competition by FIFA and UEFA until further notice following their country's attacks on Ukraine ordered by president Vladimir Putin.
The two governing bodies' decision saw Russia lose their place in the World Cup qualification process, rowing back on their initial initial stance that Valeri Karpin's side would be allowed to compete in this month’s play-offs on certain terms – ensuring Poland were given a bye in their arranged tie.
