FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke has said that a boycott of the 2018 World Cup in Russia would be nonsense.
Some European politicians suggested European countries could boycott the World Cup over the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which many Western governments accuse Russia of provoking.
Valcke said that talk of a boycott was an attempt to provoke discord rather than to be realistic on what the world is nowadays, Stuff.co.nz reported.
