Семин предложил увеличить РПЛ до 18 команд

Former Lokomotiv Moscow coach Yuri Semin has put forward a proposal to expand the Russian Premier League (RPL) to include 18 teams. This suggestion aims to increase the number of participating clubs in the top tier of Russian football. The current format of the RPL features 16 teams. Semin's idea, if implemented, would necessitate adjustments to the league's schedule and potentially the qualification pathways for promotion and relegation.

Expanding the league could offer more opportunities for professional clubs and potentially increase competition and fan engagement within Russian football.
