Russian Ufa goalkeeper Oleg Baklov admitted that he is ready to accept Tajik citizenship in the summer of 2024. His words are quoted “Championship”.
“Many factors came together here. The chances of getting into the Russian national team are negligible – to be seen, you need to be number one in the RPL club, constantly playing at a high level. We also don’t know when Russia will return to international competitions. It seems to me that by now my career will already be over. Tajikistan is also my historical homeland, I was born there. “I left there in early childhood,” Baklov said.
Baklov was born in the city of Istiklol (Tajikistan). He is a graduate of Syzran football. Baklov played for Ural and KAMAZ in Russia. The goalkeeper has been playing in Ufa since 2023.
In the spring of 2022, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
The Russians missed the 2022 World Cup play-offs and will also miss the upcoming European Championship.
