Yekaterinburg President Ural Grigory Ivanov expressed his disagreement with the imposition of taxes on foreign football players in the Russian championship. stated that “Bookmaker rating”.
“Let’s take everything away from the clubs now. Ural has no money to pay. Let’s lower the bar for our championship even further. Now we are recruiting men from Belarus and other places. Yes, we are trying to get our people in as well. Our school could not operate very efficiently, but now our 7th, 8th and 9th grade students are able to graduate. Wait a little. I think it’s probably a little wrong to introduce taxes right away,” Ivanov said.
According to media reports, for every minute a foreigner spends on the field, the Russian club will pay 5 or 10 thousand rubles, depending on his age.
