The Russian national team announced the starting lineup for a friendly match with the Cuban national team. This was reported on the website of the Russian Football Union (RFU).
The team will be represented by Matvey Safonov, Maxim Osipenko, Alexander Silyanov, Alexander Soldatenkov, Sergey Volkov, Ivan Oblyakov, Danil Glebov, Daler Kuzyaev, Anton Miranchuk and Fedor Chalov. Alexander Golovin will become the captain.
The meeting between the national teams of Russia and Cuba will take place on November 20 in Volgograd at the Volgograd Arena stadium. The game is scheduled to start at 19:30 Moscow time.
The Russian national team has not competed in international tournaments since February 2022 due to sanctions from the International Football Federation and the Union of European Football Associations.
The Russian national team has never played against Cuba in history. The USSR Olympic team met the Cubans once, beating them in the group stage of the 1980 Games in Moscow with a score of 8:0.
