The decision means Poland will advance through that match and directly to the mini-bracket final.
In addition, FIFA announced that Ukraine's mini-bracket semifinal against Scotland is postponed until the June international window, accepting a request from the country.
They were scheduled to face Scotland on Thursday morning AEDT time with that match now moved into the summer window.
The Scottish FA has also backed the decision to move the game to a later date in 2022 with president Rod Petrie stating how "football is inconsequential amid conflict" and he will now await the next update.
