State Duma Deputy Vitaly Milonov commented on the statement of the Ministry of Sports that Belarus has prepared a list of teams that will participate in the Russian Football Championship. Milonov quotes his words “RB Sports”.
“We need Belarusian clubs, we will take them! It may be a bit tight for Belarusian football players, they do not have enough opponents to test their professional skills. This will especially benefit ours, given that we have a union state,” says Milonov.
Now at the top of the Belarusian championship table is Dinamo Minsk, which has 54 points after 22 matches. In second place is Neman, who collected 52 points in 23 matches. The top three were closed by Torpedo-BelAZ, which received 39 points according to the results of 22 matches.
The International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations in the spring of 2022.
