The Russian national football team will play a friendly match with Belarus. This was reported on the website of the Russian Football Union (RFU).
The meeting will take place in Minsk on June 7. This will be the first away match for the Russian team in 2024. It is noted that the game will count toward the International Football Federation (FIFA) rankings, where Russia ranks 35th and Belarus 96th.
