The Afghanistan national team announced its readiness to hold a friendly match against the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The country's football federation spokesperson Mustafa Hashimi stated this. According to him, the team is ready to play, but such a match needs to be discussed among the federation leaders.
If the Russian national team is looking for an opponent and is ready to play against Afghanistan, they are prepared to consider the offer. It should be noted that the Russian national team has been banned from international competitions by the decision of FIFA and UEFA.
Therefore, the national team can only hold friendly matches. In their last game, the team led by Valery Karpin defeated Belarus 4:1 away.
Thus, the possibility of holding a friendly match between the Afghanistan and Russian teams is being discussed. Such games between national teams could strengthen cooperation in football and create new opportunities.
