“Members of the executive committee of the RFU requested to increase the pause between seasons. We replied that after the UEFA Executive Committee we will consider this issue. And now we have come to the next option that the start of a new championship can be shifted by a week and begin on August 10. Accordingly, the 8th, 9th and 10th numbers will be involved. This is a probable date considering that the request to postpone the start was approved by the RFU Executive Committee, ”RIA Novosti quoted Pryadkin as saying.
The 2019/20 season, interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, is scheduled to be played out from June 19 to July 22.
Earlier, the RFU replied whether there is a possibility of transferring the Sochi-Rostov RPL match.
