Dmitry Skopintsev, defender of Dynamo and the Russian national team, commented on the inability of domestic teams to participate in international competitions and said that the Russian Football Union (RFU) should be moved to the Asian Confederation. Skopintsev’s words are quoted as follows: “RB Sports”.
“I think it would be a good option for us to play against Al-Nasr and other teams instead of sitting there. We live in a time when no one knows what will happen tomorrow. We live here and now. This is a given. So tomorrow we will be in Asia, where our participation in these tournaments is conditionally guaranteed for four years.” “What if the invitation comes, we have to go there and play,” said Skopintsev.
