Alexander Dyukov, head of the Russian Football Union (RFU), spoke about the plans of the national team.
According to him, the Russian team should take part in the qualifying tournament of the 2026 world championship.
“The main task is to take part in the 2026 FIFA World Cup selection. We set ourselves this task. I think there will be more information after the executive committee and congress of the Association of European Football Associations (UEFA), which will be held in Lisbon on April 5, ”says Dyukov “RB Sports”.
Recall that after the exclusion of Russia from international competitions, the national team missed the selection for the 2024 European Championship.
In addition, Russian clubs do not play in European cups in the 2022/23 season.
It was previously reported that the head coach of the Kazakhstan national team, Magomed Adiev, was dismissed. He insisted Under no circumstances should the RFU be separated from UEFA for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
