The registration of a fan card (Fan ID) from October 1, it is planned to make it a mandatory condition for visiting FONBET matches of the Russian Cup on football, which will be held at the stadiums of the clubs of the Russian Premier League (RPL). This “Kommersant” reported a source in the Ministry of information.

The Kommersant interlocutor confirmed the existence of such plans. However, he noted that the relevant “order has not yet been signed”.

Earlier, journalist Ivan Karpov wrote about the initiative. According to him, the corresponding order has already been signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Fan ID is not required to enter the stadiums of teams from the First and Second Leagues.

From the 2022/23 season, a Fan ID is required to attend RPL matches. Also, a fan card is required for passage to the final of the Cup of Russia and the match for the Super Cup of the country. After the introduction of Fan ID, a number of fan groups of RPL clubs announced a boycott of those sports events where the system is used.
