Roman Oreshchuk, the former sports director of Moscow's "Dynamo" team, commented on the news regarding the changes to the legionnaires limit. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The Russian Ministry of Sports and the Russian Football Union are discussing the issue of reducing the number of legionnaires in the Russian Premier League. According to the proposed changes, the number of legionnaires in team squads is planned to be reduced from 14 to 10, and the number of legionnaires in the starting lineup from 8 to 5.
In Oreshchuk's opinion, tightening the limit will not improve Russian football. He emphasized the need to enhance the quality of legionnaires and noted the importance of attracting quality players.
For example, players like Malcom have brought significant benefits to the team. Additionally, citizens of EAEU countries are not considered legionnaires for the Russian Premier League and the First League.
These rules play a crucial role in influencing the development of Russian football.
