Dmitry Svishchev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, spoke about the rejection of the Cameroon national team from a friendly match against Russia, scheduled for June 15.
“We don’t know the real reasons for Cameroon’s refusal to do so. I think the evil political forces of the West intervened. Of course, it’s not nice for them to shake their asses like that at the last moment. But they may have been pressured.
We have good relations with Africa. And Cameroonian players don’t know where Ukraine is at all, they don’t care about this conflict at all. I hope the national team continues to prepare and please our fans, ”svishchev quotes. sports24.
