The Struggles of Russian Football Post-2022

This year, Russia has played only three matches, with a planned game against Pakistan canceled due to preparation issues. Facing Brunei’s B team on Friday, Russia’s football landscape has drastically changed since the 2018 World Cup. Excluded from Euro 2024 and World Cup qualifiers, the Russian Football Federation laments the impact of political decisions on athletes and fans. The suspension, initiated after the Ukraine invasion, has left the national team in a prolonged competitive void.
