Former Spartak forward Ari shared his views on the future of Russian football. Transmits words sports24.
“The biggest problem of Russian football right now is punishment. It is impossible to develop without participating in international competitions. This reduces the motivation of the players considerably. All footballers want to play in the strongest teams in the world. Ari said, “There are many strong teams and talented players in the country.”
Recall that in the spring of 2022 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 issue of transition to the Asian Conference in the autumn began to be actively discussed. In total, the organization consists of 47 national teams. This confederation hosts the Asian Cup, AFC Champions League and AFC Cup.
Formerly Yuri Semin spoke Regarding the possible transition of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to the Asian Football Conference (AFC).
