“Fan ID should be cancelled. Kind of a dumb idea. Sport exists for people to fill stadiums. Something good needs to be created, not banned,” Sport 24 Tarasova quotes.
It should be noted that the first match of the Russian Premier League in football, held under the Fan ID system (Urals – Krasnodar, July 29), was attended by only 3,000 spectators.
Earlier, Andrei Arshavin spoke negatively about the innovation, saying it works ‘against football’.
