“The Cup of Russia is held at a high level” – the president of “Ural” Ivanov

Ural President Grigory Ivanov said that he really likes the FONBET format of the Russian Cup this season.

In the quarterfinals of the tournament, the Yekaterinburg club beat Rostov in two matches and advanced to the semifinals of the RPL Path.

– The Russian Cup is going very well, at a high level, – RB Sport quoted Ivanov as saying. – I like it, everything is fine. Good system, all teams are involved. Of course, we would like our grantees to travel to the periphery more often. We don’t play the Path of Regions, but it so happened that Zenit got there. Look how many people came to the St. Petersburg team in Ulyanovsk. Now people there will remember for many years that Zenit visited them.

– From a financial point of view, a strong difference with previous seasons?

– Incomparable. Yes, from a financial point of view, we incur large expenses. But we earn much more.

The next rival of Ural will be determined during the draw on March 2. Watch live from 14:25 (Moscow time) on the Match TV channel.
