The Russian Football Union says it will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn the decisions by the world governing body of football.
The union said in a statement that it would file a lawsuit against the two governing bodies to demand that the Russian men and women be allowed to compete in the World Cup.
Russia would be able to continue to play under the Football Union name, but without their flag or anthem being present at matches.
Russia's national teams, along with its clubs, were banned from all competition on Monday by world football's governing body.
All Russian teams, whether national representative teams or club teams, will be suspended from participation, following the initial decisions adopted by theFIFA Council and theUEFA Executive Committee.
The highest decision-making bodies of both institutions adopted these decisions today.
Football is fully united here and in full solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Both presidents hope that the situation in Ukraine will improve so that football can once again be a way for people to come together.
