President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov announced the next opponent of the Russian national team in the friendly match. His words are quoted “Match TV”.
“A game with the Serbs is planned in March, it will be played in the Russian Federation. We signed the relevant agreement. We have received approval from UEFA, but anything can happen from now on.
There is a contract, it is signed. But I can’t guarantee anything 100%. What other guarantees do you expect if there is a signed contract? In the situation with Bosnia and Herzegovina at that time, there was only one agreement, we never had time to sign a contract,” Dyukov said.
