RFU Official Comments on Russia vs Thailand Match Amid Weather Concerns

The RFU’s secretary general, Maxim Mitrofanov, remains confident that the Russian national team will proceed with its scheduled match against Thailand. His comments, referenced by RIA Novosti, emphasize a practical view of event management and player readiness in the face of potential weather disruptions. Mitrofanov underscored that cancelling the game would not be the preferred option, pointing to the team’s otherwise solid preparations and the logistics already in place for a competitive international fixture. In his assessment, should a typhoon threaten the schedule, protective steps will be taken, yet the match itself should continue as planned with contingency measures focused on safety and continuity.
