Sports 18:03, 14-07-2025

Russian commentator Dmitry Guberniev expressed his opinion that football is the most popular sport in Russia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, hockey is less popular than football. Guberniev emphasized that the sport that receives the most attention in Russia and around the world is indeed football.

He also mentioned that against the backdrop of Russia's exclusion from international football competitions, interest in other sports is increasing, but they still cannot match the popularity of football. Since 2022, due to sanctions imposed by FIFA and UEFA, Russia's national team and clubs cannot participate in international tournaments.

This situation is a significant test for Russian football and is having an impact on it. Therefore, the attention and love for football in the country have not diminished; on the contrary, its importance is increasing.
