Spartak General Director Oleg Malyshev He explained how this relates to a possible reduction in state funding for Russian football.
I wasn’t involved in such discussions, so it’s difficult to comment. These are still rumors. Even if there are restrictions, they will likely be gradual. They can’t simply cancel the opportunity for funded clubs to participate in one day. This is the most popular sport in the country. But we will play by the rules we determine.
