On 1 April, a meeting of the Russian Football Union Executive Committee bureau was held.

The Bureau decided to amend paragraph 12.9.1 of the RPL Regulations for the 2021/22 season and state it in the following wording: "Foreigners declared by Clubs to participate in the FNL Championship, in accordance with the quota established by the Regulations of the FNL Championship, are entitled to compete in the Championship."

Previously, foreign football players declared by RPL clubs to play for the second teams in the FNL could not participate in RPL games.

The bureau also approved the list of inspectors for the RPL and Russian Cup for the second half of the 2021/22 season.
