The Court of Arbitration for Sport denied a motion by Russia seeking an expedited ruling to halt FIFA's ban on its involvement in qualifiers for the men's 2022 World Cup.
Graham Dunbar of the Associated Press reported Friday the CAS is still set to hear a full appeal from the Russian Football Union, which is disputing the ban handed down after the country's military invasion of Ukraine. A final ruling could come "within weeks."
If Russia's appeal is successful, a UEFA qualifying tournament that also features Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic may be replayed, per Dunbar.
