Dyukov outlined the position of the RFU on changing the name of «Nizhny Novgorod»

St. Petersburg, June 10, Taras Barabash. The Russian Football Union (RFU) has no reason to refuse to change the name of the Nizhny Novgorod football club, RFU President Alexander Dyukov told reporters. Earlier it became known that the bureau of the RFU executive committee agreed on the renaming of the football club. The name of the betting company will be added to the name of the team, which will act as a sponsor of Nizhny Novgorod. «We know that there is such a practice in Europe. There are clubs that have brands of commercial companies in the name. The RFU has no reason to refuse the club to change names. For many clubs, it is important to start moving away from budget funding. This is the case when the bookmaker will cut funding from the region. The League sees no risks, «Dyukov said.
