Score a Win with Ural
In the thick of the Russian National League (FNL) season, Yekaterinburg's "Ural" team has their sights set on the Premier League (RPL) next season. But, as sports journalist Sergei Iliev divulges, even their hopes are sliver-thin due to the stringent stadium criteria that RPL demands. The mastermind behind the team, Grigory Ivanov, has pinned his dreams on Novorossiysk's "Chernomorets" not landing a license for the RPL, should they clinch promotion.
Currently perched in third spot, Ural's stadium is not up to RPL standards, a fact that may hinder a successful ascent. The team's position in the FNL table isn't too shabby - they're fifth, but lag behind "Chernomorets" by 5 points and "Sochi" by 4 points, with merely two games left. Fortunately for Ural, there are no pressing issues related to certification or financial matters.
Iliev further elucidates the dire straits the team could face if they don't knock the Premier League out of the park. In the event of a miss, Grigory Ivanov, who's helmed the club since 2003, may helmsman no more. The Sverdlovsk region, the club's entire shareholder, makes crucial decisions regarding personnel.
Last May, the RFPL and FNL scrutinized Ural for alleged game-fixing with "Neftkhimik". Thankfully, no discrepancies related to fair play were uncovered.
