A friendly match will take place between Russia and Mali

The Russian national team is scheduled to hold a friendly match against the Mali team in March. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

So far, the Russian Football Union (RFU) has not provided official information about this, but the Mali Football Federation has confirmed several times that the match will take place in the city of Krasnodar. This was reported by euro-football.ru.

In an interview with Sport24, Mali Football Federation Secretary General Sidi Bekaye announced that the team will come to Russia with a full squad. According to him, the team leaders – players such as Bissuma, Niakate, Sangare, and Nene – will also visit Krasnodar.

They plan to hold pre-match training sessions on March 25–26. Additionally, Sidi Bekaye emphasized that arranging the friendly match against Russia was very easy.

The Mali team expressed their pleasure in playing against a strong opponent. It is worth noting that the Russian national team is currently not participating in international competitions due to UEFA and FIFA sanctions and can only hold friendly matches.
