Two players of “Torch” received invitations to national teams

The November international pause will be held with the participation of two representatives of the Voronezh Torch. Challenges to the national teams received defenders Matvey Bardachev and Anton Kovalev. This was announced on November 8 by the press service of the club.

Bardachev will join the youth team of Russia. In the near future, she will hold friendly meetings with the team of Kyrgyzstan U-23. The footballer belongs to St. Petersburg Zenit, and for the Voronezh club acts since July 2026 on a lease. Earlier, in August, Matvey was already included in the expanded list of candidates for participation in the training camps of the youth team.

The defender signed an agreement with the Torch in December 2024. In September 2026, he first entered the field as part of the Belarusian national team. His debut took place in the guest game of the first round of the group I UEFA League of Nations against Albania.
