Russian Football Union (RFU) General Secretary Maxim Mitrofanov said what options the organization has other than staying in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) or moving to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). His words are quoted “Bookmaker rating”.
“There is a scenario for the RFU to be expelled from FIFA membership. We need to understand what to do with our football, including making this happen. Will it happen after the organization gets to know new regions? This may happen due to other conditions. “All response options have been prepared,” Mitrofanov said.
In the spring of 2022, the International Football Federation (FIFA) and UEFA decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team, as well as all Russian clubs, in all competitions controlled by these organizations. From spring 2022, Russian clubs and the national team will play only friendly matches.
Russian clubs other than Zenit did not play a single match in European cups in 2022. The Russian national team, led by Valery Karpin, played five friendly matches in 2023. The issue of moving to the AFC has been under consideration since autumn 2022.
