On Wednesday, 21 November, FUR ExCo Board took a decision to approve as an exception indoor football hall Futbol-Arena Enisey (Krasnoyarsk) for RPL MD 16 match FC Enisey – PFC Akhmat.

Russian Football Premier League would like to announce that it had sent its position against holding this match in the indoor hall to the FUR on the eve of the ExCo Board meeting. We think that RPL Regulations allow several options for the organization of the above game on the stadium of the appropriate category fully corresponding to the Premier League Technical Regulations, Host Broadcaster requirements and the core decision of the RPL clubs General Assembly about creating equal conditions for all teams.

Holding of the game in the indoor hall does not allow to organize the appropriate quality of broadcast and implement commercial responsibilities of the League partners in full and will cause a serious reputation damage to all Russian football.
