Former general director of Spartak Sergey Shavlo told RB Sport that he hopes to improve the results of Spartak after the appointment of a new general director Oleg Malyshev.

On Tuesday, the change of the general director of Spartak was announced. Evgeny Melezhikov, who has held this position since June 2021, left the club by agreement of the parties. Malyshev was appointed instead.

– I expect the improvement of the work of Spartak with the arrival of Oleg Malyshev. Evgeny Melezhikov did a good job. Under him, the team played its own football, took third place. Of course, there is hope that Spartak will improve their game and fight for the championship. The new CEO should familiarize himself with the business, because it is not such an easy job. From all sides there will always be eyes, information that must be responded to. Spartak is a special club in which not everyone can be the CEO. I hope that Oleg Alexandrovich will improve the club, since he is not a completely outsider, he was present in football, did an audit. Surely he knows certain nuances. By joint efforts, with the help of the veterans of the club, Spartak will reach a new level and achieve the results that the fans want to see,” Shavlo said.

Last season Spartak won bronze medals of the Russian championship

INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”

FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:

“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”

FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”

Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:

“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”

Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.
