Kazan was supposed to host the match for the UEFA Super Cup in 2023, but against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine, this right was revoked from it.

– Kazan will prepare excellently for the match for the Russian Super Cup. It is necessary to hold such games in the regions. For example, in Kazan, Sochi, Krasnodar, not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Kazan deserves to host this match. I am sure that the city and the republic would be well prepared for the UEFA Super Cup match,” Tarkhanov said.

The Russian football season will resume on February 22 with FONBET Russian Cup matches. On March 3, the WORLD RPL draw will continue. Watch live broadcasts of RPL matches and the Cup of the country on the Match TV federal channel and the thematic channels of the holding, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
