Ukraine are set to request to FIFA to have Iran banned from competing in the World Cup amid reports the Middle-Eastern country is supplying Russia with weapons.
This comes after claims were made that Iran should be removed from the tournament over women's rights, with England their first opponents. Several protests against the regime have unfolded since Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, died after being detained for allegedly breaking strict hijab rules.
Russia invaded Ukraine back in February and a war has raged over the nation since. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Iranian "kamizake" drones have been used in Russian strikes on his nation, with the British government set to impose further sanctions on Iran.
