A decision on the Russian Football Union's appeal for a stay against the ban on its national teams and clubs from international competitions will be announced "in a few days’ time", the Court of Arbitration for Sport has said.
FIFA and UEFA, the governing bodies of world and European football, announced on Monday that Russian teams would be excluded from their events "until further notice" following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The CAS confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that it has received notice of Russia’s appeal against the ban and request for a stay in its imposition while the case is heard.
The statement added: "The CAS anticipates being able to share further information on the proceedings through a media release in a few days’ time, once a decision has been issued with respect to the requests for a stay."
A decision to grant a stay would effectively allow Russia to participate in the World Cup play-offs and Spartak Moscow to take part in the Europa League last 16, which begins on Thursday.
However Russia's play-off semi-final opponents Poland and potential final opponents Sweden and Czech Republic have all said they would refuse to play them.
Ministers from 37 nations today joined together to call for further international sporting sanctions on Russia.
Ireland is among the signatories to a strongly-worded statement following a virtual summit that also included France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States.
"Russia's unprovoked and unjustifiable war of choice against Ukraine, enabled by the Belarusian government, is abhorrent and a flagrant breach of its international obligations," the statement read.
"Respect for human rights and peaceful relations between nations form the foundation of international sport."
The nations called for Russia and Belarus not to be permitted to "host, bid for or be awarded any international sporting events."
The joint statement continued: "Individual athletes selected by Russia and Belarus, administrators and teams representing the Russian or Belarusian state should be banned from competing in other countries, including those representing bodies, cities or brands that are effectively representing Russia or Belarus, such as major football clubs.
"Wherever possible, appropriate actions should be taken to limit sponsorship and other financial support from entities with links to the Russian or Belarusian states.
"We call on all international sport federations to endorse these principles, and applaud all those that have done so already."
Meanwhile, Premier League games will not be shown on Russian television after the English football top flight suspended its agreement with broadcast partner Rambler [Okko Sport].
The decision was made at a shareholders' meeting in London on Tuesday as the governing body continues to react to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Premier League will also donate £1m [€1.2m] to support the people affected by the war.
A statement read: "The Premier League and its clubs today unanimously agreed to suspend our agreement with Russian broadcast partner Rambler [Okko Sport] with immediate effect and to donate £1m to support the people of Ukraine.
"The League strongly condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We call for peace and our thoughts are with all those impacted.
"The £1m donation will be made to the Disasters Emergency Committee [DEC] to deliver humanitarian aid directly to those in need."
The Football Association has also suspended its partnership with Russian broadcasters over rights for the FA Cup with immediate effect.
