- We were left alone - mourn the heads of football clubs from the Crimea. Sevastopol SKFCz already fired all the basic players, other teams will go at any moment in his footsteps.
Since the beginning of the occupied Crimea by Russia can not play an official match without the permission of the Ukrainian football association. This decision was taken in December, UEFA and FIFA endorsed it. It was a shock throughout the sport, because the first time someone stood up to Vladimir Putin. This affects three teams - SKFCz Sevastopol, Simferopol and TSK FC Zhemchuzhyna Yalta - occurring since the beginning of the season in the third division of the Russian. Did not help the arguments that are completely new clubs that have been registered in the Russian Federation. UN recognizes the Crimea as part of Ukraine and is interpreted to UEFA. Teams from Sevastopol, Simferopol and Yalta after the winter break (the first round of the spring on March 22) will be able to continue to play in the second league, but only on the road, because the Ukrainian association to perform in competitions Russian disagree.
The heads of the Crimean European federation of clubs asked what to do. UEFA said to have turned to Russia. The Russians, however, remains silent, not wanting to expose themselves to sanctions - the most serious is the exclusion from UEFA and FIFA, which would receive the organization of the World Cup in 2018. Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko threw the blame on their main enemy in the country - Nikolai Tołstycha, the head of the Russian football association. Accused him of that under-fought UEFA. - The Ministry has done everything you can, led to the enactment of laws so that the inclusion of the entire Crimean sport in Russia. The rest is in the hands of activists football - said Mutko.
- Everything was classically Russian: first, they did, and then thought - commented fans on the internet.
At the beginning of the heads of the Sports Club of the Black Sea Fleet (SKFCz) organized a match with the representation of the Crimea, which was supposed to be a protest against the "mixing sports with politics." Fans appeared a few. School youth prevailed because most ardent fans are opposed to the annexation of the peninsula.
Activists football from the Crimea calls for talks Ukrainian and Russian Federation, but officially they did not happen. The heads of the clubs, who a month ago arrogantly declared that they have no intention to withdraw from the Russian competition, they begin to change their minds. Already in December players unofficially told that they had to look for each new employers, but nobody wanted to confirm this. As a first stepped SKFCz - announced that its primary competitors gives a free hand in the search for new teams. In order not to announce the surrender, stated that the team will continue to exist, but it will be only the players coming from Sevastopol, and the team will be unfolded only sparring. Even given the winter schedule of matches with Russian clubs, including occurring in the league Torpedo Moscow. Do not miss the opportunity, because due to the fall in the value of the ruble twice many teams instead of Turkey will prepare for the spring round the Crimea.
Ukrainians repeated that it would agree to play teams from the peninsula in the Russian league, but about a possible return to the competition run by them can talk before the next season. And now with the new federal authorities, because the former president Nikolai Końkow announced that he would not run in the elections scheduled for the spring
