The national team participating in the 2022 World Cup was banned from playing with Russia

The Cameroon national soccer team, which failed to qualify for the group tournament of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, refused to play a friendly match with Russia, which was scheduled for June 15 in Moscow. The African players will spar with another opponent.

The decision was taken by the government of Cameroon, which banned its players from playing with representatives of the aggressor country, the Sport-Express newspaper wrote. Thus, the Africans will definitely play a friendly in Mexico in the summer, and nothing is yet known about the date of June 15.

Earlier, the Iraqis refused to play with the Russians. Note that the Russian Football Union (RFU) complained about UEFA's "intransigent position" and spoke again about the transition to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

The Russian players themselves refused to participate in the Central Asian Confederation's tournament, CAFA-2023.

As OBOZREVATEL reported, the RFU rebuked UEFA for the fact that European officials "too quickly" decided to suspend Russians from international tournaments after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
