There is a shortage of local players in Russian football

Vyacheslav Koloskov, the honorary president of the Russian Football Union, has recently mentioned the main problem in Russian football. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He noted that currently there are not many problems in Russian football, but the most important issue is the low number of trainees from local football schools. According to Koloskov, there are too many foreign players in Russian clubs, and this situation is considered one of the main problems.

For this reason, local players are not given enough opportunities. It should be noted that a restriction has been imposed on foreign players in the Russian Premier League.

According to the current regulations, each team can have up to eight foreign players on the field at the same time. This restriction is aimed at increasing the number of local players.

Last season, the "Krasnodar" club won gold medals for the first time in the Russian championship. This result was noted as an important event in the country's football.

At the same time, experts emphasize the necessity of increasing the number of local players in the championship.
