The Zenit team will hold a friendly match with the Sion club as part of their preparations for the next season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Anton Miranchuk, a Russian football player, has been active in the Sion team since last autumn. The Swiss Football Association had recommended that the Sion team refrain from traveling to Russia due to the sanctions imposed against the country.
However, the Swiss team will not refuse to play in St. Petersburg even under pressure. This was announced by the club president, Kristian Konstantin.
According to him, the club cannot refuse to go to Russia due to the pressure. The match will take place on July 9, Wednesday.
This game between Zenit and Sion is significant as a pre-season preparation. It will be a test for the players, and both teams will try to assess their strength.
From an organizational perspective, the match is also important, as international relations have become complicated, and such games provide great experience for the club. Thus, this friendly match will turn into an event of significance not only in sports but also diplomatically.
