FC Schalke 04, a professional German soccer club, is removing the name of a Russian-state owned energy company after Vladimir Putin's armed forces invaded Ukraine.

FC Schalke 04 wasn't alone in working with the powerful energy company. UEFA, the governing body that oversees European soccer, also has a business relationship with Gazprom.

Unlike FC Schalke 04, UEFA hasn't opted to cut ties with the company ... though they did release a statement condemning the attacks. "UEFA shares the international community's significant concern for the security situation developing in Europe and strongly condemns the ongoing Russian military invasion of Ukraine."

That's not to say the soccer body hasn't taken any action against Russia. The country was scheduled to host the Champions League final in Spring, but UEFA decided to pull the game.With no end in sight for Putin's invasion, expect to see more players, teams and leagues unaffiliate themselves with Russia.
