Karpin estimated the chances of the Russian team for admission to tournaments

The head coach of the Russian national football team Valery Karpin does not feel the approach of the admission of the national team to official tournaments. He told reporters at the presentation of the form of the national team.

"In my opinion, nothing has changed," Karpin said when asked about the chances of the national team being admitted to official tournaments.

The Russian national team has been suspended from FIFA and UEFA tournaments since 2022 due to the military operation in Ukraine. Since then, Karpin's team has only played friendly matches.

This autumn, the national team will play three friendly matches. On September 29, the Russian team will play a friendly match with Iran in Kazan, on October 3 with Namibia in Yekaterinburg, and on October 6 with Nigeria in Nizhny Novgorod.

The final composition of the Russian national team for the autumn camp included 29 players, including goalkeeper Matvey Safonov (Paris Saint-Germain) and midfielders Alexander Golovin (Monaco), Alexei Batrakov (Galatasaray) and Alexei Miranchuk (Atlanta United).
