Incredible but true, Russia has decided to attack Ukraine, with Vladimir Putin openly declaring war on his neighboring country. This leads to numerous flight movements of the Ukrainian people, in particular towards Poland, a border country and a member of NATO. The consequences of this conflict are already being felt in the world of football, and there are just as many concerns. Starting with the 2022 Cup play-offs which are fast approaching. Poland, precisely, must go to Russia on March 24 to face Sbornaïa there. Something that the Białe Orły federation refuses, just like its Swedish counterpart.
Captain of the Poles and world star of the round ball, Robert Lewandowski spoke about it through a message posted on his Twitter account this Friday. “All the beauty of what sport is is contrary to what war brings. For all people who care about peace and freedom, we must stand in solidarity with the victims of the military aggression against Ukraine. As captain of the selection I will speak with my teammates regarding the match against Russia, to obtain a common position and present our decision to the president of the Polish football association as soon as possible., communicated the Bayern Munich serial scorer. It remains to know the decision of the Polish players.
