Former Rostov and Sochi football player Ivan Novoseltsev shared his views on the possibility of the transition of the Russian Football Union (RFU) from the Union of European Football Federations (UEFA) to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
“If we have an alternative opportunity and we look at the fact that we can’t stay in Europe for 5 years, Asia is a perfectly normal alternative. After all, we need to somehow test our strength, compete and build the future. You have to choose the lesser of two evils, ”explains Novoseltsev “Match TV”.
The Russian Football Federation had previously postponed the meeting where they would discuss the transition to the Asian Conference.
Recall that the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Association of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided to exclude the Russian national team and all Russian clubs from participation in all competitions controlled by these organizations. The Russians missed the 2022 World Cup and the Euro 2024 draw.
Former football manager Alexei Safonov shared his opinion On the return of Kurban Berdyev to the Russian Premier League (RPL), as well as evaluated the possibilities of a 70-year-old specialist working with Sochi.
