Athletistic/ Others. Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Russian Rugby Federation, Igor Artemiev, said efforts must be made to make rugby the third most popular sport in Russia.

“Our task is to become the third most popular sport in Russia, after football and hockey. Apparently, the money invested in these sports has reversed. If our hockey players are still winning somewhere, then footballers don’t haven’t won anything in the past 40 years It’s unfortunate, we support them, encourage them.

In any case, we are aiming for third place, and then we will see. Maybe we can do more,” Artemyev told reporters.
