Russian football clubs and national teams have been suspended from all competitions by FIFA and UEFA after the country's invasion of Ukraine.

The world and European football governing bodies say they would be banned "until further notice".

It means the Russian men's team will not play their World Cup play-off matches next month and the women's team have been banned from the Euro 2022 competition.

Spartak Moscow have also been kicked out of the Europa League and their last-16 opponents RB Leipzig will advance to the quarter-finals.

UEFA has also ended its sponsorship with Russian energy giant Gazprom.

FIFA and UEFA Football in a joint statement says they are fully united here and in full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine.

They say both presidents hope that the situation in Ukraine will improve significantly and rapidly so that football can again be a vector for unity and peace amongst people.
