Before Oleksandriya's control match at the training camp in Turkey at the Gloria Sports Arena in Belek, a Russian flag was seen hanging near the field. The Ukrainians who were there asked the administration to replace the symbols.

Soon after, local employees took down the Russian flag and raised a Ukrainian flag in its place. A video of the "execution" was posted on Instagram by football agent Oleksandr Pankov.

"On February 4, Oleksandriya was to play two matches: with the Polish club FC Wisla (Plock), which finished 7th in the First League of the Polish Championship at the end of the 2023/24 season, and with the Danish FC Fredericia, which finished the 2023/24 season in 4th place in the Danish Premier League.

Earlier, the organizer of the Turkish national football team's games ruled out a match against the Russian national team in the near future. FIFA match agent Recep Yasakan denied the words of Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev, who announced the match in the coming year.

Two years ago, players from Uzhhorod's Mynai and Yaroslavl's Shinnik staged a massive brawl during a training camp that both teams are holding in Turkey.

Video from the Turkish Royal Seginus hotel in Antalya shows that one of the Russian team's players, Artem Semeykin, was beaten up pretty badly. The 26-year-old defender had a black eye and a severe cut, which was covered with a bandage.
