Athletistic / Football. Former London Arsenal midfielder and now deputy general director of Zenit, Andrei Arshavin, said that he is now no longer interested in watching the matches of the Russian national football team.
“As a sportsman, I am not interested in watching national team matches – and it doesn’t matter who we play against.
Are footballers not interested in playing? You better ask them. From a sporting point of view, I have no interest at the moment. Although for an ordinary fan, perhaps this is what is needed: to see the national team players at international matches. You don’t need to count on me. They ask me and in this case I only express my opinion,” Arshavin quotes RB Sport.

In February 2022, FIFA and UEFA jointly decided to suspend Russian national teams and all Russian clubs from participation in international competitions due to events in Ukraine.
