Zenit will play a friendly match with Red Star in Belgrade
St. Petersburg Zenit will play a friendly match with the Serbian Red Star in Belgrade. This was reported in the Telegram channel of the Russian team.
The game will take place on March 23 at the Rajko Mitic stadium and will begin at 21:00 Moscow time. “Zenit and Red Star have a long-term friendship. The upcoming friendly match is one of the stages of the cooperation plan between the clubs approved in 2022,” the statement says.
On March 21, Moscow will host a friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Serbia. The Russian Football Union and the Football Union of Serbia emphasized that they received permission to hold the meeting from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
In February 2022, the International Football Federation (FIFA) and UEFA excluded Russian national teams and clubs from international tournaments. Teams do not compete in European competitions, and the Russian national team has lost the opportunity to fight for access to the finals of the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024.
