Yuriy Zavarzin, the former general director of Moscow's Spartak club, shared his thoughts on the upcoming friendly matches of the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The team, led by Valeriy Karpin, will face Jordan and Qatar. According to Zavarzin, the options for selecting opponents are currently limited.
He stated that this time the opponents are stronger than the Vietnam national team they played against last year. Zavarzin's opinion was quoted by the "Match TV" channel.
It has been announced that the friendly matches of the Russian national team against Jordan and Qatar will take place on August 4 and 7, respectively. It is worth noting that since February 2022, the Russian national team has been banned from participating in international competitions by the decision of FIFA and UEFA.
For this reason, the team is mainly participating in friendly matches. These matches are being evaluated as an important experience for Russian football.
