Aleksandr Samedov Awaits Return of Russian National Team

Former Russian national team midfielder Aleksandr Samedov expressed his wishes for the team regarding 2026. Currently, the team, led by Valery Karpin, is ranked 33rd in the FIFA rankings.

According to Samedov, the most important thing is for the national team to have opportunities to play against worthy opponents, as this is crucial primarily for the fans. In his view, the return of the national team is expected soon, but it is not yet clear whether this will happen in 2026.

In 2025, after being barred from international tournaments, the Russian national team played 10 friendly matches under the sponsorship of BetBoom. The team recorded 6 wins, 3 draws, and suffered a defeat against Chile.

This result marked the end of a 23-match unbeaten streak. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
