UNICS President: “If the dollar and euro exchange rate had soared before the start of the season, some players might not have been selected”

If the rise in the exchange rate of the euro and the dollar against the ruble had occurred at the beginning of the VTB United League season, it could have affected the composition UNICS, Kazan basketball club president Evgeny Bogachev told .

The official exchange rate of the US dollar as of November 29 was 109.57 rubles, that of the euro – 116.14 rubles.

— There are legionnaires in the team who must receive their salary at the exchange rate of the euro and the dollar. How are you coping with these difficulties now?

— The rate has really skyrocketed. No payments have yet been made at the new rate; the next payment will take place in December. The contract being in euros or dollars, this means that you have to pay at the new rate. There is no escape. Of course, these are significant losses. If all of this had happened before the season started, then perhaps one player might not have made the cut. But now everyone has contracts. What to do? Everyone has difficulties. We hope the rate will drop a little. Russia has always heroically overcome difficulties and we will overcome them,” Bogachev told .
