“” published an open letter to the RPL and the RFU.
Text of the open letter:
“Dear colleagues!
is a long-time partner of Russian football, including the Russian Premier League and the Russian Football Union.
The key direction of this partnership is coverage of RPL matches, Russian Cup football matches and other events. In particular, a license agreement was signed between and the RPL to acquire the media rights to cover the RPL matches of the 2022/2023-2025/2026 seasons.
has always adhered to the position that it is necessary to fully fulfill its obligations in the framework of long-term relations with the RPL and RFU, and also provided full support to participants of Russian football, often going beyond beyond agreed agreements. obligations.
However, in recent months there has been talk in the media about the creation of a new tournament – the so-called “RPL Cup”.
Beyond the many arguments of the opponents and supporters of this tournament, considers it necessary to express its position very clearly and above all openly.
believes that the creation of a new tournament between RPL clubs will negatively affect the media attractiveness of the Russian football championship and the Russian football cup, which will lead to corresponding consequences for all parties involved.
Moreover, given the nature of the situation and a significant increase in the cost of the contract with the RPL, believes that the creation of a new tournament, i.e. in fact the launch of an alternative RPL product, does not respect the principles of partnership.
Also, the creation of a new cup tournament calls into question the feasibility of organizing one of the oldest tournaments in Russia – the Russian Football Cup, which allows clubs of the first and second leagues to prove themselves in the highest level and creates a real holiday for regional football due to the arrival of RPL clubs with top players.
In view of the above, reserves the right to take legal action regarding the revision or termination of the license agreement with the Russian Premier League.
