Head of the Project Office for Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexey Smertin said that team matches involving visually impaired players serve an important function and allow additional communication with European opponents.
The meeting in Moscow between the men’s blind football teams of Russia and Serbia ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of the Russians. The meeting of the women’s national teams also ended with the victory of the Russian team – 2:0.
— This is one of the important events that the RFU organizes throughout the year. It was decided to invite the Serbian B1 team. Our team has not played against European opponents since 2021. A breathtaking spectacle. We have seen a different type of football, here the importance of the game itself is secondary. Communication is essential. You saw how the players navigated the pitch and controlled the ball. I thank my partners for their involvement. It was important for us that the girls and boys came from Serbia,” reports correspondent Smertin.
