Deputy Chairman of the State Development Corporation "VEB.rf"
Former Director General of the russian Football Union, Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the FIFA World Cup russia 2018 and member of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Council

Reasons
He heads the executive committee of the World Friendship Games, a sporting event launched as a russian alternative to the Olympic Games in response to the restrictions on the participation of russian athletes in the Olympic Games in Paris.
The aim of the project is to demonstrate to the world russia's capabilities in holding sporting events at the highest level and to develop new formats of sports cooperation. The project of the World Friendship Games was presented at the largest forums "russia - CEF", "PMEF", "russia - Africa", "russia - Sports Power", and issues were separately resolved with the ministers of South Africa, China, Brazil and North Korea regarding the participation of athletes from the respective countries in the competitions. It is noted that the invitations are based both on interaction with federations in different countries and on a personal basis. Invitations to participate were sent to some sports federations in Ukraine, with a cynical promise to "ensure their safety."
He is one of the defendants in a corruption scheme, aimed at approving russia's bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
In 2019, he was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree.
