A possible match between teams of the best footballers from the Russian Premier League (RPL) and the Media League would generate more spectator interest than a match between RPL players and a First League team. This is an opinion expressed in a comment to the portal Legal betting – stated Rodina’s defender Artem Sokol.
“It will be more interesting for a Media Football League team to play against an RPL team. The Media League is somewhere between the RPL and the First League. The First League is not particularly highlighted anywhere and is rarely watched,” he said.
The player noted that such matches will not replace the interest in the Russian national team and its matches with other national teams. Speaking about the First League, the football player emphasized that fans generally consider it a low-level tournament. Sokol concluded that a possible victory of the First League team over the RPL team will create a resonance that no one needs.
The Russian national team will soon play friendly matches at the My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam. Valery Karpin’s team will face Vietnam on September 5 and Thailand on September 7. The matches will start at 16:00 Moscow time.
In 2024, the Russian national team played two friendly matches, defeating Serbia 4-0 in Moscow in March and beating Belarus by a similar score in Minsk in June.
