The Government of the Russian Federation has simplified the receipt of a fan card for children, the disabled and pensioners
The Government of the Russian Federation has simplified obtaining a Fan ID for three categories of citizens. This was reported on the website of the Cabinet.
“Starting from May 26, 2023, the identification of children under 14 years of age will take place remotely – if the data about them is provided in the verified account of the parent or legal representative on the public services portal, then the fan card will be issued automatically,” the statement says.
It has also simplified the process of obtaining a FAN ID for the disabled and pensioners. For them, at each stadium where matches of the Russian Premier League (RPL) are held, separate windows will be organized where they can get a card without a queue.
On March 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to simplify the Fan ID system. The RPL clubs came up with the same initiative.
The State Duma adopted the law on Fan ID in December 2021. To enter the stands for RPL matches, each fan must have a personalized spectator card, which was previously impossible to issue remotely. In response to this decision, active fans of the RPL clubs, except for the Grozny Akhmat, announced a boycott of league matches.
