The official delegation of the Australian Government will not go to Russia to support the national team on the FIFA World Cup, which kicks off on June 14.
The ambassador in Russia will be the only official representative to express the support of the government, Julie Bishop, the Australian foreign minister, said as quoted by ESPN.
The official claimed that the diplomatic boycott has nothing to do with the athletes.
All questions related to the team’s performance will be re-directed to the local football federation.
