President of the Russian Football Union Alexander Dyukov He believes the level of the Russian Premier League has remained the same.
To assess the level of the Russian Premier League, we need international matches. But these matches, which our clubs hold against foreign clubs, and the Russian team against other national teams, are performed at a fairly high level. When we return to European competitions, when the team starts playing in official competitions, we will see a more objective picture. But it seems to me that the level of the Russian Premier League hasn’t fallen after the sanctions; we haven’t become weaker. Recall that FIFAAnd UEFA Russian clubs and the national team were suspended from participating in international competitions in February 2022.
Recently, Dyukov stated that he hoped for Russia’s rapid return.
