Vyacheslav Koloskov, Honorary President of the Russian Football Union (RFU), was not enthusiastic about the new format of the Russian Cup in the 2022/23 season. The official was not satisfied with the composition of the participants and the rules of the event. Recall that for the first time blog teams Amkal and 2DROTS will participate in the Cup of Russia and The tournament will be held according to the “Double Elimination” system..
“I don’t like this idea. There are some traditions that started with the USSR in the cup, then there was the Russian Cup – everything was clearly built. You can change the format. And some amateur bloggers, then they will find more beach travelers. It is also a minus that RPL clubs will not play with teams from the lower leagues. Our big clubs are waiting in the regions, they want to see them, ”says Koloskov TASS.
On May 2, he became acquainted with the decision of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to exclude the Russian national team from the League of Nations and Russian clubs from European competitions in the 2022/2023 season. So the Russians will miss the 2022 World Cup.
Before that, Russian clubs could not finish the Euroseason. “Spartak” would play against “Leipzig” in the 1/8th of the Europa League.
