Yosel Piedra, vice-captain of the Cuban national team, highly praised the skills of the Russian national football team players. His words are quoted “Championship”.
“I haven’t heard much about the Russian national team lately and have only been able to watch their last matches. But I know that this is always the best world-class team competing in all international tournaments and world championships. “It is a great honor for me and many of my comrades to play a high-level friendly match with a good team like Russia,” Piedra said.
Russian and Cuban national teams will face each other in Volgograd on November 20. The meeting will start at 19.30 Moscow time.
This will be the national team’s fifth friendly match in 2023.

From spring 2022, Russian clubs and the national team will play only friendly matches.
