Russia’s friendly match with Iran was tied to FIFA’s decision

According to Fars News Agency, quoting the “Sport Express” website, the Russian national football team will hold two friendly matches in September, which will be one of the opponents of the Iranian national team. The venue of the game has not been determined yet, either Tehran or Moscow.

Earlier, the technical staff of the Russian national team had decided not to play in June and to give the players a full leave.

According to Fars, the World Football Federation (FIFA) last month suspended the Russian Football Federation due to the country’s war against Ukraine until further notice.

With the suspension of the Russian Federation, it will not be possible to hold a friendly match with the national team of this country. Of course, there are rumors that FIFA intends to allow the Russian national football team to play a friendly match by September, the next FIFA Day.

If FIFA approves the friendly match, it seems that the match between the Iranian national team and Russia in FIFA will take place later, otherwise this preparatory match will not be held.
