Demenko called a possible move to Asia the best option for the RFU

Former Spartak football player Maxim Demenko believes that the best option for the Russian Football Union (RFU) would be to move to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

The RFU Communications Service said on Tuesday that the postponement of the vote on the transfer of Russian football from UEFA to the AFC is due to the need for additional consultations. The media reported that the executive committee on the transition to the AFC will be held on December 30.

“To date, this is the best option in any case. Do not wait for anything, depend on someone in the future. And so we will have games, we can progress. I think this is the best option.

Can Japan, South Korea and Australia refuse to play with us? This will be their problem. And where will they go if they take us to Asia? To be honest, we are already tired of all their sanctions and the like. They sit there and think of something for themselves. Then we will play regardless of anything, ”Gazeta.ru quoted Demenko as saying.

At the end of February, UEFA and FIFA suspended Russian teams and clubs from participating in international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.
