Scotland's World Cup play-off semi-final against Ukraine has been postponed.
The game was due to be played at Hampden Park in Glasgow on March 24 but will now take place in June following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The winner of that tie was due to face either Wales or Austria on March 29 for a spot at this year's tournament in Qatar, which starts in November.
It means that, for the first time in history, a World Cup draw is set to take place without each participating side being known.
Ukraine had asked FIFA to postpone the Scotland game and the governing body promised to "find an appropriate solution".
FIFA and UEFA will now work together to confirm when the play-offs will be held, with at least 11 teams still battling for the final three European spots at the World Cup.
They may just decide to delay Scotland vs Ukraine and the final against Wales or Austria but, if they decide to delay all games until June, there's still a chance Russia will compete.
FIFA and UEFA have slapped them with an indefinite ban for their aggression against Ukraine, not formally kicked them out of the World Cup.
Whether the war will still be ongoing in three months' time, and whether FIFA and UEFA will uphold the ban considering their initial reluctance to impose one, remains in question.
FIFA initially wanted Russia to compete in the World Cup play-offs under the name of "Football Union of Russia", despite most member nations calling for a ban, before subsequently imposing the more formal sanction.
The World Cup draw is still scheduled to take place on April 1 and is expected to go ahead as planned.
Scottish FA president Rod Petrie wrote to the Ukrainian FA in February to offer his support.
"Football is inconsequential amid conflict," said Petrie. "But we have conveyed the strong sense of solidarity communicated to us by Scotland fans and citizens in recent days.
"[The SFA] have offered to support our Ukrainian colleagues' preparations as best we can in these unimaginably difficult circumstances.
"We remain in dialogue with UEFA and FIFA regarding our men's FIFA World Cup play-off and women's World Cup qualifier and have offered to support our Ukrainian colleagues' preparations as best we can in these unimaginably difficult circumstances.
"Should the current circumstances continue, we will not sanction the nomination of a team to participate in our scheduled UEFA Regions Cup fixture against Russia, due to be played in August.
"This will remain our position should any other fixtures arise at any level of international football."
Scotland nor Austria have qualified for the World Cup since 1998, while Wales haven't reached the tournament finals since 1958.
Ukraine have qualified just once for the World Cup - in 2006 - although they have only been eligible for qualification from 1998 onwards.
As it stands, Poland - who were due to play Russia - will face the winner of Sweden and Czech Republic for a spot at Qatar '22.
And European champions Italy must beat North Macedonia in Palermo and either Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal or Turkey to reach the finals.
