Athletistic/Other. Oleg Matytsin, Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, explained what awaits Russian athletes who decide to change nationality and compete under the flag of another country.

“At the moment, some federations are receiving letters about the possibility of transferring athletes,” Matytsin said, referring to TASS. However, he stressed that these athletes must be aware that by leaving the country, they will lose not only material benefits, but also many social guarantees. This includes education and work opportunities, as well as other benefits they previously enjoyed. All will be terminated.

Matytsin also noted that the ministry treats the country’s citizens with respect. However, if an athlete decides to change nationality, this choice must be final and irrevocable.
