This was reported by the press service of the Russian Football Union (RFU).
It is noted that this is due to the situation with possible transfers of the championship matches to July 19. Semifinal matches of the Cup of Russia should be held on this day.
“If clubs making the semifinals of the Cup make such a request, the RFU will consider the option of changing the format of the Russian Cup and holding it after the end of the RPL, but until August 3,” the statement said.
Earlier, the RFU officially announced the postponement of the Krasnodar and Dynamo matches to July.
