Sports lawyer Yury Zaitsev explained how the St. Petersburg football club Zenit could make a limit in the Russian Premier League, as in the Belarusian championship, where a player with a Belarusian passport is not considered a legionnaire.
Zaitsev recalled that previously a football player who did not have Russian citizenship was considered a legionnaire. Athletes Malcolm and Claudinho applied for Russian citizenship. However, the expert is sure that this issue cannot be resolved without the participation of the country’s Ministry of Sports.
“The term depended on citizenship, and not on the right to play for the national team,” – said the sports lawyer, reports “Championship”.
Zaitsev also clarified that if the players receive Russian citizenship. They still will not be able to play for the Russian national football team.
“MK in St. Petersburg” wrote that in the near future the Brazilian footballer Malcolm becomes a father.
