The President of the RFU believes that the law on Fan ID is unlikely to be amended

President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov believes that it is unlikely that changes will be made to the law on the introduction of a system for identifying fans at RPL matches.

From the beginning of the current season, a fan card is required to attend football matches at the stadiums of Ural (Yekaterinburg), PARI NN (Nizhny Novgorod), Rostov (Rostov-on-Don), Wings of the Soviets (Samara) and Sochi “. In other cities, the system will be activated from December.

– The government believes that this is a necessary law, and it should be implemented. I do not expect any changes to this law, we have already discussed this. The government made this decision, we understand what it was guided by. I know your opinion and attitude towards this law and the system itself, but as far as security issues are concerned, this is the responsibility of the government and law enforcement agencies. And if something happens, they will be held responsible, not you or the RFU. It is clear that now the situation is more or less favorable, but there is a lot of work behind it. The government and law enforcement agencies believe that the law is needed. The only thing they can do is make this system more convenient.

There were fears of mass failures, but this is also not the case. As far as I know, there are only 23 refusals, and 2/3 of the cases were due to administrative violations. You know, I personally think it’s easier to get a card and forget about it than to worry about it and discuss this issue,” Dyukov said at a press conference.
