“The structure of the next season is being discussed, the RPL Cup is one of the options” – Dyukov
The issue of creating the RPL Cup has not yet been officially resolved, this option is being studied, said the head of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Alexander Dyukov.
The possibility of holding the RPL Cup next season was discussed at the general meeting of the clubs, which took place on July 6.
– This is one of the options. The structure of the next season is now being discussed, and this is still one of the options, Dyukov told reporters.
From the new season in Russia, a system for identifying spectators in the stands will operate. Registration of a digital fan card for attending RPL matches began on July 4.
– Will the atmosphere be different with a FAN ID?
– It is difficult to say how it will be. Time will tell.
Is it pointless to ask about beer?
“Talks are underway, there is a discussion, but whether a decision will be made in the near future or not is not yet clear,” the head of the RFU said.
On Friday, Zenit defeated Spartak (2:0) in the PARI Legends Match, which was attended by veterans of the two clubs.
– Conditional veterans and legends proved that they are in excellent shape, their legs remember. Many are fine, they can still play in the Premier League. Revenge at Luzhniki? Yes, it is possible if the players are ready.
If our legends are ready to play such matches, then we will do our best to hold them. Premier League Legends Cup? Why not, it is quite possible,” Dyukov added.

Vladimir SHARAN: “The Swedes were too weak at the New Year’s table”
For many, the coming year is associated with bright hopes and expectations of changes for the better in life and work. The famous football coach is no exception. Vladimir SharanShared with the reporter Spor.ua Statements about the New Year theme.
– Until what age did you believe in Santa Claus?
– I don’t even remember. Probably up to age six. No more. Until I went to school.
– What is the most unusual New Year celebration in your life?
– The most unusual and extraordinary was the New Year, which I spent in Israel during my stay as a player in the USSR youth team. An international tournament was organized in this country, in which our team participated. It’s plus twenty outside and we’re celebrating the new year in shorts and T-shirts.
The next day we had to play against the Swedish national team in the final. The Swedes sat next to our table on New Year’s Eve, they saw how we relaxed, and how we relaxed. Believe me, we rested much better and played much better (smiles). As it turned out, the Swedes were very weak at the festive table. We won the final match 2-0.
– As a Ukrainian citizen and a football coach, what do you expect from the new year 2026?
– To be honest, everyone is waiting for one thing; peace. And I’m not the only one who can say that. If there is peace, everything will return to normal. I really want the war to end as soon as possible, for people to be free, for parents not to bury their children. This is the most important thing. And as a coach, I expect changes for the better in our football.
I would like the Ukrainian championship to be full-fledged and finally achieve some kind of stability. And also for the Ukrainian national team to successfully pass the World Cup play-off tests and please the fans as often as possible. I also really want the football players in our club to have a good future, to become real football masters, to gain recognition and to be invited to various national teams.
