russia
the annexation of crimea by the russian federation in 2014 led to several british and american politicians calling on fifa to overturn its decision of hosting the 2018 world cup in russia — british shadow secretary of state for health andy burnham said that football's governing body should reconsider, while two american republican senators, dan coats and mark kirk, wrote a joint letter to fifa president sepp blatter saying russia should not only be prevented from hosting a world cup but also be banned from participating in it, bringing up the precedent of yugoslavia being banned from euro '92 and the 1994 world cup as course of action to be followed in this case and proclaiming equivalence between russia hosting the cup with the appeasement of the nazis and adolf hitler in the 1930s before world war ii. in march 2014 blatter declined their request and responded by saying: "the world cup has been given and voted to russia and we are going forward with our work".
