The Russian national football team announced an expanded team for friendly matches, which will be held in March. This was reported on the website of the Russian Football Union (RFU).
The expanded composition includes 32 football players. In particular, the brothers Alexei (American Atlanta) and Anton (Swiss Sion) Miranchuki, who were abroad. The Brazilian with the Russian passport Douglas Santos from the St. Petersburg Zenit was also first called.
Since March 2022, Russian teams and clubs have not been participating in the draws of international tournaments due to sanctions by the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). The teams only conduct comradely matches.
For the first half of 2025, the Russian team schedules three friendly matches. In March, the wards of Valery Karpin will meet with Zambia in Moscow, Nigeria will be accepted on June 6, and on June 10 they will play with Belarus on the road.
