Karpin: “Instead of facilitating the transition to the stadium, it was difficult”

Head coach of Rostov and the Russian national team Valery Karpin shared his opinion on the introduction of the FAN ID.

Do I believe in a positive decision regarding the FAN ID? We need to think of a positive solution. But it is clear that in the existing format this is unacceptable. Sergei Bogdanovich said it world Cup it was – and normal. But there are nuances that only those who go to the stadium where there is a Fan ID face. It is one thing to issue a document for a year and go to the stadium with it without regular registration. But the fact is that after issuing a pass, in the future it is necessary to perform certain manipulations before each game, attach the document to the ticket.

They won’t let you into the stadium without a QR code. But what if I decided to take a walk along the left bank of the Don, saw that there was a match and decided to go there? I won’t be able to do that. Those who say that Fan ID is normal have found no nuances and do not understand that for each game it is necessary to link a ticket to a Fan ID and wait for a code. Instead of making it easier for us to enter the stadium, they made it difficult for us.

How many fans do I expect for the match against Spartak? If the entrance were without a supporter, as for the Cup, they would be 30-40 thousand. Now it will probably be around 10,000.

The International Football Federation has announced the launch of a new sign: the FIFA Peace Prize.

The city is called upon to work in a way that, through its activities, brings unity to people and the world through football. According to the words of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the prize is awarded to those who have done something wrong for the sake of peace.

“In an increasingly troubled and divided world, it is important to recognize the prominent contributions of those who work diligently on the underlying conflicts and relationships of people in the world,” Infantino said.

Although FIFA has not officially announced the name of the first winner, football clubs are actively discussing that the debut winner could be US President Donald Trump. There are a number of factors that support this theory:

There is a lot of competition between Trump and Infantino. The location of the ceremony is the capital of the United States. FIFA will seek political support for the World Cup, which will take place in the US, Canada and Mexico.

The first naming ceremony will take place on April 5, 2025 near Washington, during the official draw for the final part of the 2026 World Championship.
