The games are scheduled for April 11 and 13 and will take place in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek. The Russian team for these matches includes 18 players.
It is worth noting that in December 2025, the Russian national team already played friendly matches against the team of Uzbekistan. In the first match, the Uzbek players won with a score of 3:2, while in the second match, the Russians took revenge, winning 3:1.
Since 2022, Russian clubs and national teams have been unable to participate in international tournaments organized by FIFA and UEFA due to the situation in Ukraine. Thus, friendly matches with teams from Central Asia remain an important way for them to maintain competitive practice on the international stage.
