Former goalkeeper of Spartak and the USSR national team Rinat Dasaev reacted to the initiative of the Russian State Duma deputy Roman Teryushkov to abandon foreign players in Russian football.

On the air of the program “There is a theme!” on the Match TV channel, the deputy said that Russia needs to consider the issue of a complete rejection of legionnaires in domestic football.

– Now such a situation in which we must trust our players. Let the Russian youth play. It will be a difficult time: for a year or two we will face problems, but after that time a generation of new, and most importantly, our players will appear. Let the clubs give them a chance to prove themselves.

Should we completely abandon legionnaires? It is difficult to say, because now the situation is complex and ambiguous. I think that there should be a certain limit on legionnaires: two or three foreigners. We can buy good legionnaires, and not such mediocrities that we play now, – Sport24 quotes Dasaev.

In March, the RFU executive committee approved a new limit on legionnaires, which will take effect from the 2022/23 season. From the new season, each RPL club will be able to register up to 13 foreign players, and no more than eight foreign players will be able to enter the field at the same time.

Previously, the RPL had the “8 + 17” format, in which the team’s application for the season could not have more than eight legionnaires.

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.
