General Director of the football club “Ufa” Shamil Gazizov talked about the possible transition of the Russian Football Union (RFU) under the auspices of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). He emphasized that the most important thing for Russian teams and clubs is the opportunity to play. However, the officer believes that decisions should be made by those responsible for it.
“Still, I am in favor of how we will play and how it will be, those who bear this responsibility must decide. I can offer some advice, but it’s better to do it behind the scenes and not through the media. Once again: I’m in favor of the team playing, showing great football and the development of football in the country and especially in our republic. And then there are the people responsible for these problems, ”said Gazizov socialbites.ca.
Recall that in March 2022 the participation of Russian clubs and national team in tournaments under the auspices of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and the International Football Federation (FIFA) was suspended.
On March 23, the Russian team drew with Iran with a score of 1: 1. Both goals came from penalties. The Russians threw Anton Miranchuk. On March 26, Valery Karpin’s St. Petersburg beat the Iraqi national team 2-0. In the second half, the goals were scored by Anton Miranchuk and Sergey Pinyaev. In the last minute of the match, midfielder Daler Kuzyaev was sent off.
Speaking about the national team game earlier, Gazizov said, declarationcriticism has become more important than positive moments.
