“Most clubs supported the expansion of up to 18 teams,” Sport24 quoted Babayev as saying.
At the same time, according to him, the meeting noted that the expansion should be prepared, so it is necessary to analyze the condition of the National Football League (FNL) clubs and make sure that there are no violations of the sporting principle.
“The RFU will consider the initiative. I don’t understand how to do this in the next season without violating the sporting principle, ”Babayev added.
Currently, there are 16 teams in the RPL.
Earlier it was reported that the head of the RPL was questioned as a witness in the contract match case.
