• Russian oligarchs have come under swift sanctions from the US, UK, and EU in response to the war in Ukraine.
• They have lost a combined $80 billion of their wealth so far.

Since Russia launched its military invasion into Ukraine two weeks ago, Russian sports organizations and oligarchs have faced a swift backlash in the soccer world.

Various sports bodies, including FIFA, major tennis federations, Formula 1, the International Paralympic Committee, and major boxing sanctioning bodies have banned events in Russia or banned athletes from competing under the Russian flag.

In soccer, some Russian oligarchs who own soccer teams have been directly impacted by sanctions, while others could soon become targets of sanctions.

Poland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic announced that they would boycott FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Russia. FIFA and UEFA later banned the Russian national team from international competitions.
