Russian Football Federation (RFU) negotiates the conduct of national team matches with the youth and women’s teams USAbut it is too early to talk about agreements. The head of the organization spoke about it to Sport Express Alexander Diukov.
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs RF Sergei Lavrov reported that a football match between the Russian national teams will be held and USA. General Secretary RFU Maxim Mitrofanov September 11 confirmed that the organization is negotiating this match.
“You and I know from the press that on the sidelines of one of the meetings the topic of a possible football match was raised, but sport is not yet the main topic of these negotiations,” Dyukov said. Since that discussion we have had a series of contacts with the American Soccer Federation on the topic of youth and women’s team matches, but it is premature to talk about any agreements at this time.”
For the last time the Russian national teams and USA played on November 14, 2012, the match in Krasnodar ended with the score 2:2. From 2022, Russian national teams and clubs are banned from participating in international tournaments and will only play international friendly matches.
