MOSCOW, 28 Mar — The head coach of the Kazakhstan national team Magomed Adiev answered the question about the possible transition of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

In December, the RFU discussed a possible transition of the organization to the AFC. At the same time, together with UEFA, it was decided to create a working group, the purpose of which is to develop a roadmap for the speedy return of Russian teams to international tournaments.
