Former head coach of Krylia Sovetov and Anji Gadzhi Gadzhiev told Vprognoze.ru that he considers the question of a possible transition from the Russian Football Union (RFU) to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) difficult.
RFU president Alexander Dyukov said last week that the final decision on a possible transfer to the AFC would be made on December 27. Until the 31st, the RFU has time to apply for the Russian team to have time to participate in the qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Later it became known that the vote of the RFU executive committee on this question had again been postponed and should take place before the end of the year.
– I do not expect the participation of Russian clubs in European competitions, not only in 2023, but also in the next two years. As for Asia, the question is complex. It is no coincidence that the Executive Committee of the RFU has again postponed the decision on this matter. This is because many nuances of the transition from UEFA to the Asian Confederation are not well understood. Although there are similar precedents, Kazakhstan, on the contrary, is moving from Asia to Europe. Koloskov explained that this is quite a long procedure. Therefore, internationally, expectations for 2023 are vague. But I still think it’s better if our teams and our clubs play. When this will become possible in Europe, we do not know. And if in Asia they give the right to participate in the qualifying matches for the World Cup, then you have to use it,” said Hajiyev.
