Syomin: Jordan will be a strong rival for Russia

Famous coach Yuri Syomin expressed his opinion about the upcoming opponent of the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

On September 4, the team led by Valery Karpin will play a friendly match against the Jordan national team. The location of the game will be announced later.

According to Syomin, the Jordan national team is not an ordinary or weak opponent. They have qualified for the World Cup and have a certain level of strength.

In his opinion, this match will be a good test for the Russian national team. It is worth noting that the Jordan national team secured their first World Cup qualification earlier this year.

They will participate in the 2026 World Cup for the first time. It should also be emphasized that the Russian national team is currently under sanctions from European and world football organizations.

For this reason, the team led by Valery Karpin can only hold friendly matches for now. In this context, the game against Jordan will serve as an important test to assess the current state of the team.
