Dyukov explained why the Russian national team plays matches at the Dynamo stadium and not at Luzhniki

President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov explained why the Russian national team plays friendly matches with Serbia and Paraguay at the Dynamo stadium and not at Luzhniki.

On Thursday, the Russian team defeated the Serbian team in Moscow with a score of 4:0. The match with Paraguay will take place on March 25.

— Tell us about the choice of the stadium. Can we say that the Dynamo stadium is the main arena for the national team?

— First of all, it’s good that we played this match. This game was the first for our team against a national team from Europe in quite a long time. This is important for Russian football.

As for this arena, there were, of course, other options. But when we make decisions, there are several factors that we take into account: logistics, field conditions. Accordingly, it is still important to fill the stands.

We planned to hold one of the games in St. Petersburg. But since during the break for the national team’s matches the stadium in St. Petersburg was planned to be dedicated to restoring the field, we were not able to play there.

We could have collected Luzhniki, but this stadium did not have all the documents, not all the permits,” the Match TV website quotes Dyukov.

    Ivlev said that Dinamo is ready to change the limit for foreign players

    Dynamo Moscow is ready to change the limit for foreign players in the Russian football championship. The president of the Dynamo board of directors said this in an interview. Alexander Ivlev.

    Ministry of Sports RF proposes to tighten the limit for foreign players by 2028 according to the “10 foreign players in the application, 5 in the field” scheme.

    “I can say that Dynamo is ready for these changes. We have wonderful young people who have grown up in the club. And a good core of players at the level of the Russian national team. I think most teams RPL (Mir – Russian Premier League – known source) will be ready for this too. We hope that this will have a positive effect on the quality of play of Russian players,” Ivlev said.

    “I believe that foreign footballers have already become part of the ecosystem of Russian football. Those sparks of Latin American and African football that we see performed by the masters in our league, of course, give an additional effect in terms of beauty of football, artistry and all this is also passed on to our players. Therefore, we absolutely cannot refuse these opportunities,” Ivlev added.

    According to the current limit, clubs RPL can include 13 foreign players in the application and release 8 foreign players on the pitch. In September, the Russian Football Federation said the current limit allowed young players’ playing time to be increased to 18% for the first time.
