The Russian Football Union (RFU) delayed its decision to move to the Asian Confederation in December 2022 due to the position of the trustee. It has been reported “Sport Express”.
According to the source, at the meeting of the board of trustees, the participants decided that the transfer of Russian football to Asia would be a hasty decision.
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.
Except for Zenit, Russian clubs did not play a single match in European cups in 2022. Petersburgers stumbled on the 1/16 stage of the Europa League, losing to the Spaniard “Betis” in a total of two matches, 2: 3. Spartak had to play in the playoffs with RB Leipzig thanks to the group stage win.
Former President of RPL Alexander Alaev shared his opinion On the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to reject FIFA’s objection to the permission of Russian clubs to suspend the contracts of players and coaches.
