They will then return home to face Burkina Faso in Volgograd on June 5, before travelling to Kaliningrad to take on Trinidad and Tobago on June 9.
Krasnodar’s season ended on a high note with a decisive victory and two players earning national team recognition. Russia’s upcoming friendlies will serve as key preparations ahead of their summer commitments.
