Although there have still been no movements or pronouncements by Barça or Madrid about their Russian sponsors, it is possible that some measure will be announced in the coming days in the face of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine
The conflict that live at present Ukraine and the Russian Federation has caused severe 'punishments' to some Russians linked to the sport. Such is the case of Roman Abramovich, the one who had to abandon the British territory by disposal of the local authorities, or the measures taken by the FIFA and the UEFA to exclude to the clubs and Russian selections of the international competitions.
In front of this situation, remains for resolving how will remain the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid, institutions that have to Russian companies inside his wallet of sponsors. In the case of the Catalan entity exist relations with 1xBet, a house of bets, supposedly of the Slavic nation, whereas in Valdebebas keep a similar bond with Fonbet from the past year.
On the team of the capital is clear that the house of bets that appears between his sponsors has headquarters in Russia, whereas it still has not cleared which is the country calm of the sponsor of the picture culé. For the moment, there has not been any movement of institutional type, although it is very likely that both directives already are to the so much of the situation.
The sport closes him the door to Russia
In addition to the measures taken by the FIFA and the UEFA to exclude to clubs and combined national of the tournaments that organise, also has changed of headquarters the final of the Champions, that had like stage to the stadium Krestovsky of St. Petersburg and now will contest in the Stade of France, in Paris, stadium that housed finals like the one of the season 2005-06, in which the Barcelona won to the Arsenal or the one of the course 1999-00, that supposed the eighth orejona of the Madrid in front of Valencia.
No only the football has added to these unpublished measures against the Russian Federation. In other disciplines like the motoring, has excluded the Big Prize of Russia of the calendar of Formulates it 1, to the time that the Russian pilot Nikita Mazepin, the one who competed under neutral flag owing to the scandal of doping on the Russian sport, will not be able to follow competing in the category.
