A petition calling for the current Russian National Football team to be disbanded has been signed by more than 100,000 people on social activism site Change.org.
“Let's reform the Russian National Football Team. We want to be proud of it, not ashamed,” the creator of the petition, Artyom Khasanov, wrote on the website.
Khazanov also suggested calling up new players to the national side, spending money on new football pitches and focusing on the development of young players.
The petition comes after Russia failed to progress further than the group stages of the 2016 UEFA European Championship. It ended bottom of its group after drawing to England and losing to Wales and Slovakia.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
