According to the group, attention to the RFU was previously attracted by public outcry due to the concert of the Bi-2 group during the Super Cup in St. Petersburg, for which the football union is responsible for inviting, as reported by Gazprom Arena.

In addition, fans of FC Pari turned to the Duma group, who have complaints about the decision of the RFU regarding the introduction of Fan ID.

At the same time, they are outraged by the “tacit ban of the RFU on patriotic performances by fans in support of the special operation and the Russian army,” the GRAD report says.

They recalled that foreign clubs regularly put up posters in support of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to which FIFA and UEFA do not react, while "the RFU does not


protest."

“The refusal of the RFU to include teams from Crimea in the Russian championship does not fit into the vector of state policy,” the deputies said.

In connection with the appeals, Deputy Dmitry Kuznetsov sent requests to the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin and the Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin with proposals to make personnel decisions and change the principles of the work of the RFU.
