Former player of the Russian national team Andrey Arshavin commented on the decision of UEFA to deprive Kazan of the right to host the match for the UEFA Super Cup in 2023.
“Nothing extraordinary happened. If we do not participate in European cups, then no one would allow holding the Super Cup.
It is strange and surprising that such a decision was made only now, and not earlier. Apparently, they forgot that the Super Cup was supposed to be held in Russia.
The Champions League was canceled immediately, nothing has changed since then, so the verdict is natural, ”Match TV quotes Arshavin as saying.
