Six countries are ‘planning state boycotts of the Russia 2018 World Cup in Russia to show solidarity with Britain.’
Officials from the close ally nations are all now likely to snub Moscow’s invitation to the tournament after the Salisbury outrage, The Sun has been told.
They are Poland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Australia and Japan, with more expected to follow.
The communal snubs come after Theresa May’s announcement last week that Prince William and all her government ministers will refuse to play any part in the competition. And they are another boost for the PM in her stand off against Vladimir Putin.
Polish President Andrzej Duda was the first world leader to stand alongside Mrs May by revealing he has refused to go to the tournament’s opening ceremony in Moscow.
