Immediately after the invasion, Polish Football Association was the first to announce that Poland refused to play their national match against Russia. pzpn.pl/en/national-teams/national-team-a/news/2022-02-26/poland-does-not-intend-to-play-the-play-off-match-against-russia No more words, time to act! Due to the escalation of the aggression of the Russian Federation towards Ukraine the Polish national team does not intend to play the play-off match against Russia. And that started an avalanche of other teams quitting which forced FIFA to suspend the Russian team. They are not going to play in Qatar.  Lewandowski also wore an armband with the colors of Ukraine during his latest match as a sign of support for heroic Ukraine.  |

Polish star tennis player, Iga Świątek, supported Ukraine firstsportz.com/tennis-iga-swiatek-comes-up-with-heartwarming-gesture-for-suffering-ukrainians/
Newly crowned Qatar Open champion Iga Swiatek voiced her support to the people of Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, saying she found it hard to picture a conflict in the country next to her’s.
The Polish tennis player is against the war, which affects innocent people and children. Swiatek has decided to somehow support the Ukrainians. The athlete will perform at the tournament in Indian Wells with a ribbon of flowers in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Iga added that her team will have a lot of ribbons, so anyone can also join in such a small but touching gesture.
“I am against this war and the suffering of innocent people. I want to show, even if symbolically, my solidarity with Ukraine, so I’m going to play my matches in Indian Wells with a small ribbon in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. If other players feel able to support Ukraine with this symbolic gesture, we prepared more of these ribbons and can give you some,” revealed Swiatek.
“I admire the strength and courage of the Ukrainians and I am proud of the Poles, who provide great assistance to Ukrainians, open their homes and support refugees at the borders. Helping the victims is our first response. Help is needed and will probably be needed in the future, so it is important to support public organizations that have many years of experience in humanitarian crises,” added the Pole. |

Two major decisions of the International Volleyball Federation First, Russia was deprived of the right to organize the tournament, and a few hours later, Ukraine was given the green light to perform.
The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) picked up Russia's event on March 1 due to a military attack on Ukraine. The final tournament, at the turn of August and September, will be held in Poland and Slovenia. It's not everything. On Thursday, FVU President Mykhailo Melnyk received a letter from the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) confirming that Ukraine will play in the 2022 World Cup instead of Russia.
