Goncharenko on Fan ID: “Everyone should listen to the fans to find a compromise”

“The subject of Fan ID is extremely complicated for me. Personally, I have not issued a Fan ID. To be honest, it seems to me that we need to work out the principles of such measures. You cannot go to football without a fan ID, but you can go to hockey and basketball. I just can’t understand. Unexplainable. We all need someone to explain to us why this is happening.

The decision to introduce Fan ID was made, but not discussed. There is a side which accepts this sanction, and there is a side which does not accept it. It seems to me that we have to look for a certain compromise, and as soon as possible,” said Nepomniachtchi quoted by “Championship”.
