There are many different scenarios, at the moment the situation is like this, we proceed from this. These are just fantasies, one cannot say that the RFU is holding similar negotiations with someone. Now we are negotiating exclusively on the restoration of clubs and teams in international competitions under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA,” Mitrofanov said. “The question is not posed in such a way that we will soon leave him UEFA and join the AFC or somewhere else. Hypothetically, such scenarios can be considered under certain circumstances, but this requires appropriate solutions, but there are none yet. There are actually dozens of such scenarios, so I encourage everyone to deal with internal problems. In order not to collapse the clubs, competitions were held, a reserve was prepared,» Mitrofanov added.
