Guinea Football Federation vice president Sega Diallo announced that he wants to host a match between his country’s national team and the Russian national team. His words are quoted Sports24.
“So far we have not had discussions with the RFU about organizing a friendly match, but we want to play with the Russian national team next year. It is possible to determine a date during the halftime of the national team matches. Diallo said, “We are ready to reach an agreement if the RFU wishes.”
The governing bodies of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have allowed Russian national football teams under the age of 17 to participate in competitions under their auspices. The men’s and women’s national teams are expected to play their matches without an anthem or flag, and not on Russian soil.
In the spring of 2022, FIFA and UEFA decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team, as well as all Russian clubs, in all competitions controlled by these organizations. Since then the teams have played only friendly matches.
Former Russian national team coach Viktor Onopko said Good signals are coming from FIFA and UEFA.
