On Wednesday in Moscow took place a Conference of Russian Football Association, on which the new RFA president has been elected. Sergey Fursenko became it: 95 delegates have voted for his nominee. 11 votes have been given for the second candidate, Alisher Aminov. The third applicant for a post of president of RFA, Sergey Kuzmin, has rejected from nomination in favour of Sergey Fursenko right after his performance with the electoral programme.

Unfortunately, the injury received by halfback Nikola Drincic in a friendly match with «Zhemchuzhina» has turned out to be very serious.
After the first half of the match Drincic accompanied by doctor Michael Vartapetov has been delivered to one of the local hospitals which is five kilometres from the hotel, where «Spartak» had stayed. His injury was diagnosed as displaced comminuted fracture of the tibia. Thus, Drincic needs operation, and he will completely recover not earlier, than in half a year.
Previously, during one of the trainings, Nikita Bazhenov was injured. But his recovery won’t take long.
