Leonid Fedun, owner of Moscow “Spartak”, emphasized the special position of the red-whites and “Krasnodar” in Russian football.
“Unfortunately, Spartak stands apart like a white crow. Maybe we and Krasnodar, which does not live directly or indirectly on budget financing.
For us, any earning avenue removes a huge burden on shareholders as we pay our own money. And this money is limited, especially now, ”said Fedun Youtube channel “Spartacus”.
In the last season of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Spartak finished tenth. Petersburg “Zenith” became the champion of Russia. Blue-white-blue won RPL gold for the fourth time in a row. Also in the top three were Sochi and Dynamo Moscow.
The red-whites won the Russian Cup by beating Dynamo 2:1 in the final of the tournament. This Cup was the fourth in history (1994, 1998, 2003, 2022) for Spartak and the first in 19 years.
Spartak also finished first in the Europa League group, but did not play in the playoffs due to the sanctions of the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
