Andrey Kobelev, the former coach of Dynamo Moscow, supported the decision to organize a friendly match between the Russian and Qatar national teams. “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“The team must exist even alone. Now it is clear that it is difficult to look for an opponent. But the players of the whole country should have a specific goal – to get into the national team, ”said Kobelev.
The match will be played against Qatar on 12 September in Doha.
The International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Association of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided in the spring of 2022 to exclude the Russian national team and all Russian clubs from participation in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
Except for Zenit, Russian clubs did not play a single match in European cups in 2022. Petersburgers stumbled on the 1/16 stage of the Europa League, losing to the Spaniard “Betis” in a total of two matches, 2: 3.
