Former “Spartak” footballer Emmanuel Emenike fondly recalled his years spent in Russia and expressed hope for the quick return of Russian clubs and the national team to the international stage. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, Russia remains a special country for him, and seeing the national team in major tournaments is his sincere dream. In an interview with Metaratings, Emenike called Russia his home and emphasized his warm feelings towards the country.
He also stated that he is eagerly awaiting Russia's return to the international arena as soon as possible. It should be recalled that since 2022, Russian football clubs and national teams have been banned from competitions organized by FIFA and UEFA.
This situation arose due to the political circumstances in the international football community and continues to this day. Football fans and experts consider Russia's return to the international stage important for the development of football.
Therefore, Emenike's hopes are supported by many fans.
