Ural head coach Viktor Gancharenko, commenting on the possible transition of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), noted that he cannot imagine Russian clubs without the European Champions League.
On December 30, the RFU Executive Committee postponed making a decision on a possible transfer to the AFC. The RFU, together with UEFA, FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), will create a working group that will work on the issue of returning Russian football to international competitions by April 1, the main task is to return to UEFA competitions as soon as possible.
– It’s hard for me to understand how you can refuse the Champions League anthem. I have no idea what Asian football is. Although all projects at the very beginning seem crazy. We are forced people, but it is clear that Asian football does not fit in with Russia, ”Championship” quotes Gancharenko.
