In occupied Donetsk, it was reported that the city's stadiums are ready for professional tournaments under the auspices of the Russian Football Union.
This was written in local public pages on October 21, citing a statement by Pavel Davydenko, who calls himself the “President of the Football Union of the DPR”. According to him, matches can be held at the Donbass Arena, Metallurg, Olimpik and RSK Olimpiyskiy stadiums.
In addition, the so-called "football union of the DPR" is also going to leave the Confederation of Independent Football Associations (ConIFA) after "joining" Russia.
