No international soccer matches will be played in Russia and the Russian flag and anthem will be banned from any of their matches abroad, governing body FIFA said on Sunday.
The national team would not compete as Russia but as the Football Union of Russia (RFU), and games would be held with no fans on "neutral territory", as part of its sanctions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
