Lokomotiv CEO Vladimir Leonchenko considered the possibility of Russia’s expulsion from the International Football Federation (FIFA). His words convey “Sport Express”.
“If such a decision is taken by FIFA, it will damage the long-standing system and allow all clubs to make money from the players. This will be an unprecedented decision. Theoretically, anything is possible, but I don’t see much sense in it because our players play abroad,” he said.
Recall that on May 2, the decision of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to exclude the Russian national team from the League of Nations and Russian clubs from European competitions in the 2022/2023 season became known. Russia’s bid to host the 2028 and 2032 European Football Championships was also rejected. The organization found this unacceptable.
Given the suspension, Russian clubs risk being left without a direct ticket to the Champions League group stage after the suspension ends.
