Athletistic / Basketball CSR chairman Andrey Kirilenko has spoken about the benefits of introducing a salary cap in the men’s Super League and women’s Premier League.

Recall that according to the innovation, Premier League clubs cannot spend more than 100 million rubles on player salaries in total for the season. Superleague men’s clubs – no more than 50 million rubles.

“For us, this is a new and, of course, important undertaking, and we hope that it will have a favorable effect on the development of club competitions and the level of preparation of candidates for the Russian national teams.

Of course, a compromise solution will be worked out in the future, which will allow to maintain the balance of interests of the majority of teams in the Premier League and the men’s Super League and at the same time to equalize the level of competition between participants in the competition,” Kirilenko reportedly told the official RFB website.
