The "Orenburg" team has managed to stay in the Russian Premier League, even though they were deemed deserving of direct relegation in 15th place. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The decision regarding this was made during a meeting of the executive committee bureau of the Russian Football Union on Friday. Journalists from "RB Sport" revealed this important information.
The decision to include "Orenburg" in the RPL was adopted unanimously. However, not all members of the executive committee bureau participated.
If this information is confirmed, another controversy may arise in Russian football. The decision to select the 16th team for the new season is highly debated and significant.
Such a decision made by an incomplete bureau may raise doubts and lead to behind-the-scenes agreements. The Russian championship will start on July 18.
