The head of Shakhtar Palkin criticized FIFA for his attitude to football in Ukraine
Shakhtar General Director Sergei Palkin criticized the International Football Federation (FIFA) for attitude to Ukrainian football. His words are given by The New York Times.
Palkin drew attention to the fact that FIFA allowed foreign players to leave the club for free. “The unity that they talk about, we must feel from the beginning of the conflict. But we did not feel this, ”he said.

Those who signed or extended the contract with the team after March 7, 2022 are also deprived of this opportunity. It is noted that the players who have taken advantage of the option can extend the suspension of the contract for another season.
