Kanchelskis compared the development of football in Russia and Kazakhstan

Tobol General Director Andrei Kanchelskis compared the development of football in Kazakhstan and Russia.

— Is Kazakh football now developing more actively than Russian football and is the gap between them narrowing?

— Kazakhstani football, of course, is developing, which is good and pleasant. The Kazakhstan national team now has a good chance to qualify for the European Championship, the clubs performed well and are performing in European competitions – we wish only good luck to Astana. Now they have begun to pay attention to this due to the results, everyone understands that this is a movement forward.

Russian football is much higher because the infrastructure is higher, it is clear that there was a World Cup. But if Kazakh football moves this way, then the development will also be good. Even now I see: they are paying attention to infrastructure, they are starting to build stadiums. As for Russian football, we still need to understand how much it has been suspended,” Legalbet quotes Kanchelskis.

The Kazakhstan national team is in 3rd place in Group H of the Euro 2024 qualifying, having scored 15 points in 8 rounds and is 4 points behind the leaders Denmark and Slovenia.
