"Syria vs. Russia: Friendly Football Match Set for November Amid Controversial International Landscape"

The Director of Communications of the Syrian Football Association, Emad Amiri, confirmed that a friendly match against the Russian national football team was held in the November FIFA window.

“We agreed with the RFU on a friendly match between the national teams of Syria and Russia. Today we can officially announce that the game will be held on November 19 in Russia. The only thing left is to choose a stadium to host this game – we choose between Moscow, St. Petersburg and Volgograd. In the near future, the Russian side and I will agree on the exact location of the match,” – the official told the Sport24 portal.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Football Federation manager Hi Pachon they announced the possibility of holding a friendly match with the Russian national team in 2025:

“We have exclusive rights to arrange meetings with Russian teams next year. Our representatives and mediators are working with the RFU to arrange friendly matches for our countries national teams during the next break in 2025. Work is ongoing to arrange a friendly match between the top national teams of Nigeria and Russia. So, such a fight is possible. “

And the Pakistan Football Federation reported that they had not received a response from the Russian Football Union regarding the national teams’ friendly match next month:

“The Pakistan team is not planning a training camp in November. Having declined the RFU’s offer for a game in October due to time constraints and other reasons, we have asked to hold the game in November, but at this time there has been no response from the RFU. But we are ready to play against the Russian national team away. There is no deadline for the RFU to respond to the national team meeting. “

By the way, Sri Lanka Football Federation Teams Department Communications Manager Sampath juice He also spoke about the national team’s possible friendly match against the Russians and said the key phrase:

“If Russia sends us a proposal, we will definitely consider it. “Sri Lanka is always ready to play international friendlies, but to play a country like Russia, we have to get FIFA permission first.”

Do you understand where the “dog was rummaging”? That’s it. And I want to see Moscow for free, earn money, get new boots as a gift (the Cubans bought cool shoes in Volgograd), but, on the other hand, it’s scary. Suddenly FIFA swears. Lord, what troubled times we have lived in!

And it is not a coincidence that the defender Dynamo Makhachkala and the Russian national team Valentin Paltsev unhappy with the prospect of a friendly match between the national team and the Media League team:

“I agree that it was not possible to hold a match between the Russian national teams and the Media League. Who knows what goes through the minds of people who will get away with anything to make any sense. They could break it.”

They can give you something to drink. There, the boys fight bravely and they don’t care who is on the field, a national team player or a manager from Pyaterochka. I don’t think we should put the feet of our best leather ball masters in danger.

At the same time, the defender of CSKA Igor Diveev he also shared his feelings from the collection. And he said that the team, which was left without competitors, held an open training session in Moscow, inviting children from Kursk and Belgorod:

“Let’s not compare. This is an event for children, so I will not compare with Pakistan. Now we were playing with the children, it was great. Feelings from the collection? Of course, it was like that, because we were going to play a friendly match with an opponent, but this is how it happened, the match was canceled and this event took place. But we had a great time.”

at the same time EADaily reported that during the October FIFA window, the RFU managers were unable to find opponents for the national team, as Pakistan jumped out at the last minute, and other countries recommend holding “freight trains” later.

This is the former coach of the Russian national football team Sergei Balakhnin and talking about a reduction in motivation Valeria Karpina as coach of the national team without official matches:

“Karpin is definitely losing his motivation to work with the national team. The players are also losing it, but this is inevitable in the current situation. Whatever matches you organize now, if they are not of an official nature, this will lead to a general decrease in interest in the national team. All these matches that the national team has now are only of exhibition nature. The Russian national team now has a lot of options, but Karpin said that he does not support games with clubs, and that the opponents of the national teams will be mostly weak for a long time.

It is relevant to remember here that by the decision of FIFA and UEFA, the Russian team has been suspended from all international competitions from March 1, 2022. The team lost the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2024 European Championship in Germany.
