Vladimir Ponomaryov, a former player of the Moscow CSKA team and the former Soviet Union national team, evaluated the return of the "Orenburg" team to the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He noted that "Orenburg" participated in the Premier League last season as well. "Who should replace the 'Torpedo' team?"
This decision is correct and logical. "Orenburg" is considered a good city that pays great attention to the development of sports, Ponomaryov said.
It should be noted that the "Orenburg" team took the place of "Torpedo" because the "Torpedo" team was expelled from the Premier League due to controversies related to influencing football referees just a few days before the start of the new season. Last season, the "Orenburg" team, led by Vladimir Slishkovich, finished in 15th place in the Premier League.
These events are seen as measures taken to ensure fairness and discipline in Russian football. Additionally, the return of "Orenburg" to the top league is considered an important step for the development of regional football.
Team fans and specialists are positively evaluating this decision.
