RPL Commission on pitch quality control decided, that Lukoil Arena pitch is at odds with RPL Regulations and RFU Standards, and it is temporarily not allowed to host RPL matches.

According to RPL Regulations, on 1 March, Spartak Moscow should inform the league about venue, which will host Week 20 match against Fakel Voronezh (scheduled to play on 10 March).

In other case RPL will set the venue and kick-off time itself. Lukoil Arena will be given the permission to host the matches following the results of pitch weekly control.
