St. PETERSBURG, June 10, Taras Barabash. Match for the Russian Super Cup will be held even in the event of a boycott of the Moscow «Spartak», said the president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov. The match for the Russian Super Cup will be held on July 9 in St. Petersburg. The game will meet the champion of Russia and the current owner of the Super Cup St. Petersburg «Zenith» and the owner of the Cup of the country «Spartak». On Friday, the “red-whites” in social networks hinted at a boycott of the match. “Are any sanctions possible against Spartak in the event of a boycott of the match for the Russian Super Cup? We must refer to the regulations. If it involves sanctions, they will be applied. If not then there will be no sanctions. The match will still be held, but the participant of the match will be different. A boycott is always bad, it is not the best tool for finding solutions. We try to strictly follow the rules and practices that have been developed. To be honest, we do not see no grounds for a boycott,» Dyukov told reporters.
