Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there have been requests for FIFA to enable foreign players based in the country to end their contracts without penalty.
Following recent occurrences, several gamers have been left in limbo and frightened for their lives.
FIFA and UEFA stated last night that all Russian national teams and clubs had been barred from competing due to backlash to their initial decision.
However, there has been no information on what is occurring in Russia with foreign players.
FIFPro, which represents footballers all around the world, is pressing FIFA to modify their transfer policy.
According to the Dutch media VI, FIFPro believes it is only right that those playing in Russia should be entitled to cancel their contracts for free due to the current war as a result of Vladimir Putin's activities.

"FIFA has been requested to do so by us. "This must be arranged as soon as possible," Louis Everard, a member of the FIFPro board of directors, told VI.
"The intensifying conflict appears to be a basis for us to be able to terminate the contract without having to pay the club compensation." This is currently being discussed.
"In light of the exceedingly concerning situation, we feel players should be allowed to leave the country." We'd like to get some answers as quickly as possible.'

The international players' association, FIFPro, seeks to assist foreigners in terminating their contracts with their Russian Premier League team.

Kento Hashimoto, who presently plays for FC Rostov, could benefit from FIFPro's plea to FIFA that international players in Russia be permitted to exit their contracts without punishment.
There are now 133 foreign players in the Russian Premier League, including Dejan Lovren, a former Liverpool defender, Quincy Promes, a former Ajax winger, and Malcom, who temporarily played for Barcelona.
If FIFPro's proposal is successful, approximately 200 players will be able to depart for free.
FIFPro earlier published a statement in response to FIFA imposing the "lightest of fines" on Russia's Football Union (RFS), which required Russia to play in a neutral venue without the use of its flag or national anthem.
Due of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, FIFA permitted contracts to be automatically extended once the season was disrupted.
