The head of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Alexander Dyukov, explained the idea of inviting referees from Saudi Arabia and Belarus to RPL matches.
On October 24, on the “Rules of the Game” program on the MATCH PRIME channel, the chairman of the RFU refereeing committee, Pavel Kamantsev, announced the signing of an agreement on cooperation in the field of refereeing with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. On Thursday, Kamantsev reported that the RFU had signed an agreement with Belarus; judges from this country could begin working in the RPL in the near future.
— Why will RPL matches be officiated by referees from Saudi Arabia and Belarus?
– You know the reasoning and motivation. You know that previously our referees had the opportunity to work at international matches, but now these opportunities are limited. We see that our referees are currently less involved in working at international matches, and our referees need this experience for their development.
This work provides additional motivation for arbitrators. If our judges work abroad, it is fair to give the same practice to those judges who work in other championships. Particularly from Saudi Arabia. If our referees get the opportunity to officiate matches involving Ronaldo and Benzema, that’s not a bad thing.
— Could there be problems with communication?
— Football stars perform in Saudi Arabia, and they somehow communicate. Our players also have experience participating in international matches, I don’t see any problems,” a Match TV correspondent reports Dyukov’s words.

I am a sports journalist who has written for a number of Sportish. I have a background in journalism and have been writing since I was young. My main focus is sports news, but I also write about general news. I am currently working as an author at Sportish.
Goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team Anatoly Trubin I remembered the match against France (0:4) when Sergei Rebrov released the semi-reserve squad.
“It was the coach’s choice. It is always the coach who decides whether the match will be sacrificed or not. If we talk about the challenge itself, we all understand the strength of France. I understood that there could be a lot of shots, there could be a lot of chances, and I was ready for it. When the opponent is always with the ball, constantly attacking, you are always in the game: you play in sections, you react, you constantly feel the rhythm.
For me personally, it’s even easier than when your team is attacking most of the time and you’re standing idle and suddenly there’s a moment where you have to be ready,” Trubin said.
