Athletistic / Football. Former Russian national team forward Andrei Arshavin spoke about the initiative to make the RPL a closed league. He said that this model is not suitable.

Previously, RPL clubs had already discussed this idea with the RFU. The option of closing the league on the model of the North American championships was discussed.

“How do I see the idea of ​​a closed league? UEFA is against it, I think they will ban us. And on top of that, the economic model doesn’t suit us.

Ovechkin suggested how the Russian team would perform at Euro 2024

In a closed league there is money [вносят] into a common pot and divide it, earn at the expense of sponsors. But our football is subsidized in one way or another,” Arshavin quotes RB Sport.
