“I am sure that Rostov will not repeat the path of Khimki.” There is a whole region behind the club” – Dyukov

The President of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Alexander Dyukov, said that Rostov will solve all its financial problems and will be able to finish the current season, since the regional leadership is behind the club.

Earlier, journalist Ivan Karpov reported on his Telegram channel that Rostov plans to part with a large number of players and is looking for less expensive replacements for them. In addition, according to him, the club may not finish the championship due to debts of several billion rubles. Rostov General Director Igor Goncharov denied this information in an interview with Match TV.

— Last season Khimki went bankrupt, now they are talking about a similar situation in Rostov, which may withdraw from the tournament due to debts, there have been reports of financial problems of Krylia. Do you see this problem, and what is the RFU doing to solve it?

— We are working to ensure that such situations do not occur, we are improving regulations, tightening the requirements for financial control and budgetary discipline of clubs, including in terms of penalties for violations.

If I answer the question about Rostov, I am sure that it will not repeat the path of Khimki. Like Tolstoy: all happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. “Khimki” was a private investor’s club, the region is behind “Rostov”. I am sure that the problems are temporary and they will be solved, because the Rostov region is a football region,” a Match TV correspondent reports Dyukov’s words.
