The chairman of the management of the "Zenit" football club in Saint Petersburg, Aleksandr Medvedev, announced that the "Gazprom Arena" is ready to host a friendly match between the national teams of Russia and the United States. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He called the stadium the best venue for such matches and expressed his eagerness for the friendly encounter. Earlier, there were reports in the media that representatives of the Russian Football Union discussed the possibilities of holding a friendly match between the national teams with their counterparts in the USA. The Russian national team has been suspended from international competitions based on a joint decision made by FIFA and UEFA.
For this reason, Valery Karpin's team is only participating in friendly matches. In their last game, they defeated the Belarus national team with a score of 4:1.
This result reflects the current state and competitiveness of the national team. Additionally, it is believed that the high-level infrastructure and conditions of the "Gazprom Arena" will continue to serve as a favorable venue for international friendly matches in the future.
This venue is considered not only a playing field for teams but also an important platform for the development of sports and strengthening international relations.
