Sports lawyer Sergei Alekseev said on that sponsors have the right to raise the issue of revising the terms of contracts with RPL clubs due to a possible corruption scandal in Russian football.
On Tuesday, the governor of the Samara region, Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, said that one of the officials of the “Wings of the Soviets” informed him of a debt of 36 million rubles to “criminals involved in the corruption of the corps of ‘Russian football refereeing’. .” On Thursday, an extraordinary meeting of MIR RPL clubs was held in Moscow, following which the league sent a letter to Fedorishchev asking him to provide available information on allegations of corruption in professional football.
RPL President Alexander Alaev said clubs could suffer financial losses from the scandal, as sponsors have already started offering to renegotiate contract terms.
— Information governs the world in the information society. And sponsors have the right to raise this issue, because they pay money and for them the image component is very important. The sponsorship contract can in principle be modified. If a club is proven to have attempted to stage a match-fixing, it can be fined up to 30 million rubles, according to the disciplinary regulations. And if the successful organization of a match-fixing on the part of the clubs, they can be fined up to 50 million rubles, deprived of the won awards, excluded from the competition and deducted 15 tournament points “, Alekseev said to the tune of “All for the match!”
