Andrey Arshavin, who won a bronze medal with the Russian national team at the Euro 2008 tournament, expressed his opinion on where the national team's friendly matches should be held. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the Russian Football Union should not be limited to the city of Moscow and should organize more matches in the regions. In Arshavin's view, each game is perceived not only as a celebration but also as an important event in the regions. Furthermore, the Russian Football Union will hold many events before the matches. The population shows even greater interest in such games outside of Moscow. Yesterday, the Russian Football Union confirmed that the Russian national team will play a friendly match against the Jordanian team on September 4 as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round. However, the location of the match has not yet been determined. Additionally, it was previously mentioned that a friendly match with Russia could also be held in Argentina in the fall of 2025, but there is currently no specific information on this.

Former "Ural" team head coach Oleg Shatov expressed his opinion on the situation regarding striker Erik Bikfalvi's departure from the team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It is known that earlier the coaching staff had stated that they did not see him in the team. In response to a question about this, Oleg Shatov emphasized that there was no disagreement or conflict between them. He also expressed his respect for the former player. According to the coach, when Erik came to say goodbye to the club, they had a private conversation and shook hands to part ways. According to Shatov, there is no resentment between them. The player's departure was caused not only by the coaching staff but also by other factors. He stated that this issue is not solely their decision. For reference, Erik Bikfalvi played for the Yekaterinburg team from January 2017 to February 2025. During this period, he appeared in 227 matches, scored 61 goals, and provided 22 assists to his teammates.

The former player and coach of the "Zenit" team, Aleksey Strepetov, shared his thoughts on the main problem of the club's midfielder Maksim Glushenkov for the 2025/2026 season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, Glushenkov is not always on the starting lineup and does not appear confident in his game. Strepetov emphasized that the player just needs to relax and feel the understanding with his teammates in attack. Regardless of whether the forwards are Kassyera or Sobolev, Glushenkov needs to adapt to them. Currently, his teammate Vendel has returned to the lineup, and Glushenkov can play well with him. For this reason, Strepetov believes that Glushenkov will regain his form. In the current season, Glushenkov participated in three matches in the Russian championship and one match in the country’s cup. However, he could not show effective actions in these matches. In the last game against the CSKA team, he came on as a substitute six minutes before the end of regular time. Earlier, there were reports of disagreements between Glushenkov and the team's head coach Sergey Semak, which is why the player is planning to leave "Zenit".

The head coach of Moscow's Spartak team, Dejan Stankovich, has not spoken to team defender Nikita Chernov even once in a year. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Previously, there were reports about Nikita Chernov's transfer to the Wings team. The player himself also confirmed this information. According to Chernov, it is possible that the coach's personality is such, or perhaps because he is managing a large team, he may not have considered it necessary to talk to a player who does not fit his style. Chernov emphasized that communication with the coach is very important for a player, especially when there is not enough playing practice, this is crucial. Additionally, as Chernov mentioned earlier in his interview, after a friendly match against the Torpedo team, he was removed from the main squad and sent to train on the second field, and since then he has not participated in training with the main team. This situation once again highlights the importance of communication between a coach and a player, which is significant for the player. Chernov stated that in such a situation, a player feels isolated, and this can negatively affect his professional career.

In the first six months of 2025, Uzbekistan's judicial system held more than 6000 citizens accountable for cases related to violence, domestic violence, and the dissemination of information that humiliates honor and dignity. This was reported by Upl.uz. This information was announced within the framework of the implementation of laws aimed at strengthening the protection of women and children, adopted in April 2023. According to the official statement of the press secretary of the Supreme Court, Aziz Abidov, courts across the country reviewed numerous cases under the new laws. The largest portion of these cases, specifically 4952 instances, were examined under Article 59-2 of the Code of Administrative Responsibility — concerning domestic violence. As a result of these cases, 3200 individuals were fined, and 1752 people were administratively detained. Criminal liability for domestic violence committed under aggravating circumstances or repeatedly was applied to 231 individuals in accordance with Article 126-1. Of these, 65 were deprived of liberty, while 166 were punished with other non-custodial measures. Additionally, cases related to sexual harassment are being actively reviewed. Under Article 41-1 of the Code of Administrative Responsibility, 986 individuals were held accountable. Of these, 628 were administratively detained, and 358 were fined. Courts also reviewed criminal cases related to the disclosure of personal information and the humiliation of a person's honor and dignity. Ninety-nine individuals were prosecuted under Article 141-3 of the Criminal Code. Of these, 24 were deprived of liberty, while 75 were subjected to other types of punishment. The figures for the first half of 2025 continue the trend observed since the laws came into effect in April 2023. For comparison, in the ten months of 2024, 15,826 sentences were issued for domestic violence, while in 2023, 666 individuals were prosecuted for sexual harassment. However, there are concerns regarding the application of these laws in the academic environment. A study conducted by scholars Zayniddin Shamsidinov and Utkirbek Kholmirzaev from Tashkent State University of Law found instances where norms related to domestic violence were sometimes used to pressure victims or to coerce them into official reconciliation with the aggressor. To monitor the implementation of laws protecting women and children from violence, a special committee was established in the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan. This committee is tasked not only with overseeing the application of laws but also with developing proposals for further improving legislation in the field.

The Chilonzor district court's panel of judges issued a verdict on August 4, 2025, against the management of the "Pr premier-avto" car dealership. This was reported by Upl.uz. The company was accused of defrauding more than 150 citizens of over 2.5 billion soums, and taking into account other circumstances during the trial, it was determined that the total damage amounted to 5 billion soums. "Pr premier-avto" was registered in 2022 for the wholesale trade of passenger cars and motor vehicles. To instill confidence in customers, the company promised to deliver cars within a period of 1.5 to 3 months and emphasized that there was an official contract with "Uzavtosanoat" joint-stock company. However, according to the investigation results, this information was not accurate. This scheme attracted buyers with favorable conditions, and many made advance payments for several vehicles. The investigation conducted by law enforcement agencies revealed that the company's activities were not limited to passenger cars but also included the sale of trucks. In court, one of the victims, Samariddin Abdusalimov, stated that he made the initial payment for the car through a bank with an 8% annual interest rate, and was promised to receive the car within two months, but delays occurred due to supply issues, ultimately leading to the suspension of the dealership's operations. Another victim from Bukhara, Avaz Toshtemirov, was supposed to receive the car within 90 days after paying the full price, but there was no communication after the deadline. Initially, individual complaints from citizens did not yield results. The criminal case was opened after a complaint was filed with the Minister of Internal Affairs. The court heard the testimonies of 130 out of more than 150 victims and found the defendants guilty under Article 168, Part 4, Clauses "a" and "v" of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan (fraud in a very large amount). The founder and director of the dealership, Sh.M., was sentenced to five years in prison. His two accomplices, D.O. and M.A., were sentenced to six and eight years, respectively. All convicts will serve their sentences in a general regime colony. The court ruled to fully recover the material damages inflicted on the victims. Frauds in car sales are one of the widespread problems in Uzbekistan. In March 2024, a similar scheme was reported involving the owners of another car dealership in the capital, who defrauded 74 citizens of 6.1 billion soums, and they were arrested. This company also promised to deliver cars within three months.
