According to Mehr’s reporter, disagreements about the transfer of the Russian Football Union from the European Union to the Asian Football Confederation have risen in this country. Some media and experts emphasize the advantages of this decision and some others list the disadvantages and problems of Russia’s transfer to Asia.
The executive committee of the Russian Football Union held a meeting on Tuesday to review this plan, but the vote to transfer to Asia was postponed again.
Yesterday, Arshavin, a former player of the Russian national team and Arsenal club, expressed his opposition to the transfer of the Russian Federation to the old continent and emphasized the development of domestic Russian football instead of being in Asia.
Dmitri Gubernev, a famous sports commentator and journalist in Russia, also reacted to Arshavin’s words and supported him. Gonberf wrote on his Telegram channel: “Well done Arshavin!” Russia is a European country. Transferring our football to Asia is an unforgivable mistake!”
