Ruslan Litvinov, midfielder of the Moscow “Spartak” and the Russian national team, talked about the possible transition of domestic football to the Asian Confederation. He shared his opinion with himself “Sport Express”.

“Is it impossible to imagine a trophy in the national team anymore? Yes. Everyone understands the current situation. Everyone has agreed on this. The future of Europe or Asia? I don’t know. I did not go into the details of this issue. We need to weigh the pros and cons. It is difficult to make a decision that will completely change everything that is happening in football in Russia. I think knowledgeable people are doing the right thing,” said Litvinov.

In December 2022, the board of the Russian Football Association discussed the transition from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to the Asian Football Confederation, in light of the removal of domestic teams from international tournaments.

The International Football Federation (FIFA) and UEFA have decided that in the spring of 2022 the Russian national team and all Russian clubs will be banned from participating in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
