Former head coach of Dynamo Moscow and Arsenal Tula Miodrag Bozovic believes that matches with opponents who are not the strongest will be beneficial Russian national team under conditions of exclusion from international tournaments.
According to , the Russian team can play friendly matches with the national teams of Tanzania, Zanzibar, Seychelles, Sudan or Senegal. We are talking about meetings that will take place in 2024. The exact locations and dates of the games have not yet been discussed.
— Russia may be an unattractive rival purely for political reasons, but one day that will change. There are countries that would like to play but cannot due to political restrictions. Russia has yet to play any country. The team feeling must be maintained. In addition, footballers need to train.
There is no need to mock rivals like Tanzania or Zanzibar. There are people there too! If none of the strong countries want to play for political reasons, then you should look for an opponent among those who are ready to play. When Yugoslavia was bombed, no one wanted to play with us. Even Russia. The RFU are doing the right thing by pursuing options for the national team. Yet everyone knows that the Russian team is alive and not dead,” Bozovic told Sport24.
Russian national teams and clubs were suspended from participating in tournaments in February 2022 due to the situation in Ukraine.
