Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic have called for Russia to be stripped of their 2022 World Cup qualifying hosting duties amid the country's ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
As it stands, Russia are due to play host to Poland in the World Cup playoff semi-finals on March 24.
Should they emerge victorious, they would then be scheduled to play at home again in the Path B final against either Sweden or the Czech Republic, but all three countries are now pushing for a change in venue.
What's been said?
Serious safety concerns have been raised in the wake of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, with President Vladimir Putin having ordered troops into two rebel-held regions of their neighbouring country.
Reports of explosions across Ukraine were widespread on Thursday, and Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic have responded by insisting that Russia should not be allowed to stage any football matches while the situation develops.
"The Football Associations of Poland (PZPN), Sweden (SvFF) and Czech Republic (FACR) express their firm position that the playoff matches... should not be played in the territory of the Russian Federation," a joint statement from the three nations reads.
"The military escalation that we are observing entails serious consequences and considerably lower safety for our national football teams and official delegations."
