Famous coach Valery Gazzaev expressed his opinion about the possibility of a friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Qatar. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Earlier, information had circulated about the likelihood of the teams facing each other in September. Qatar recently hosted the World Cup and the team performed well.
Our national team needs to participate in international matches. Unfortunately, there is currently no opportunity to hold qualifying matches and friendly games with strong opponents, Gazzaev said in an interview with Sport-Express.
The Russian national team played its last official match in November 2021. At the end of February 2022, UEFA and FIFA imposed sanctions on the Russian Football Federation.
Since then, the team led by Valery Karpin has only been playing friendly matches. Due to the unavailability of other national teams and the political situation, it has been difficult for the Russian national team to find opponents.
It is worth noting that in June, the Russian national team played a 1:1 draw with Nigeria and defeated Belarus 4:1.
