The transfer of matches involving the Russian national team and football clubs to neutral fields violates the principles of sports. So the decision of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) was assessed by the President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov, according to the website of the organization.
“The RFU does not support the decision to transfer any matches involving Russian teams to neutral territory as violating the sports principle and infringing on the interests of players, coaches and fans,” Dyukov said. He also noted that Russia is always ready to provide security guarantees.
The head of the RFU reacted negatively to the transfer of the Champions League final from St. Petersburg to Paris. Dyukov said that this decision was dictated by political reasons.
Earlier, UEFA announced the postponement of the matches of the Russian national team and clubs. In addition, the union announced the postponement of the Champions League final from St. Petersburg to Paris. The decisive match of the tournament will take place on May 28.
