The Russian national team may hold a friendly match against the Qatar national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This team is one of the strongest teams in the Asian Football Confederation. According to RIA Novosti Sport, based on sources, the match may take place on September 7 in the Qatari capital, Doha.
So far, no documents have been signed to organize the match. It is worth noting that the Russian and Qatari national teams also played against each other in 2023, with that match ending in a 1:1 draw.
The Qatar team is the holder of the Asian Cup and the host of the 2022 World Cup. In June 2023, the Russian national team, led by Valery Karpin, played a 1:1 draw at home against the Nigerian national team and also won 4:1 away against Belarus.
Due to political reasons, the Russian national team has been suspended from official competitions for the past three and a half years.
