The Russian Football Union announced Thursday it's set to file lawsuit against FIFA and UEFA as part of an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to get its club and national teams reinstated after being banned from competition following Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.
The Athletic provided a statement from the RFU about its decision:
"The RFU will demand the restoration of all men's and women's national teams of Russia in all types of football in the tournaments in which they took part (including in the qualifying round of the World Cup in Qatar), as well as compensation for damage.
