The State Duma of Russia rejected the bill to abolish the fan card. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Vitaliy Dyakov, a former defender of Rostov and Dynamo Moscow teams, expressed his opinion about the Fan ID. According to him, there would have been many more spectators at the stadiums if there were no Fan ID.
Dyakov stated that he is not a supporter of the Fan ID, but emphasized that spending 10-15 minutes to attend games of his favorite team is not difficult. He also reminded that the card is mainly refused by active fan groups, while there are no difficulties for others.
The Fan ID has been mandatory at the stadiums of the Russian Premier League since the summer of 2022. This system is aimed at ensuring safety and order during football competitions.
By obtaining the card, fans can register themselves and enjoy conveniences when entering the games. The Fan ID system serves to organize sports events more effectively in the country.
