The merger of these two clubs on Tuesday was officially announced by the press service of the Government of the Moscow Region. The President of the RFU and the Minister of Sports of Russia Vitaly Mutko promised to quickly understand the current situation.

"I am studying the situation now, I should have a telephone conversation with the governor of the Moscow Region Boris Gromov," Mutko said on Tuesday Interfax .

According to him, the information about the association "is still confirmed." At the same time, sources in the RFU informed the agency that last night the authorities of the Moscow Region denied the possibility of combining two football clubs, but in the morning of today they changed their position.
