(Reuters) - The Russian Football Union's (RFU) Executive Committee members have not expressed their intention to switch to the Asian confederation even as the country remains suspended by European soccer body UEFA, RFU head Alexander Dyukov said. "Was any member of the Executive Committee in favour of Asia? Nobody expressed this position," Dyukov was quoted as saying by Russia's TASS news agency on Friday. The move prompted the RFU to discuss making the switch to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). But TASS reported the committee that met on Friday decided to create a working group to interact with FIFA, UEFA and other confederations.
