Tonight there will be decisive matches in the European playoffs for the World Cup, and the one that will stand out in its absence is the Russian team, which was eliminated from the games due to the invasion of Ukraine.
This was preceded by the relegation of Spartak Moscow from the knockout games in the Europa League, so for next season Russian football is looking for solutions.
The Russian association has decided not to wait too long, and has announced that it is considering taking a bold step - disengagement from the UEFA and European football and joining Asian football.
Negotiations are already underway with the Asian Federation, with China, for example, being one of Russia's most prominent supporters, both on the sports field and on the political field.
In contrast, some associations in other countries have expressed opposition to the move.
With this move approved, it means that a team like Zenit, the Russian champions, with no choice, will replace fascinating encounters in the European Champions League against Real Madrid, Liverpool and Juventus, in encounters with champions from Japan, Iraq and the Emirates.
The report mentioned that Israeli football also moved between continents, and in fact did the opposite, after leaving Asia where he played between 1954 and 1974 and joining the UEFA in 1991.
