“The position of the RFU, it seems to me, should not be discussed. We are all determined that football should be back. Now the situation is when all the football authorities, the management of all clubs and leagues must make every effort to return football. Such a pause is fatal. At the same time, we perfectly understand that this situation is regulated by state bodies, therefore, the last word is theirs, ”Alaev quotes“ Match TV ”.
He noted that the RFU, together with the RPL and the Ministry of Sports, prepared a protocol for the resumption of the season, taking into account the practice of championships in other countries.
“Chances to resume the championship?” In my opinion, they are very tall. I urge the entire football community to stop discussions about whether to resume the tournament. Together with our colleagues, we are doing everything possible to make this happen, ”the RFU Secretary General added.
The RPL, like most world football championships, was suspended due to a pandemic of coronavirus infection. At the time of the stop, 22 out of 30 rounds were played.
Earlier it was reported that the RFU is considering the possibility of holding a separate tournament for a place in the RPL.
