Russia's national soccer team is set to face off against Peru and Chile in the month of November 2025.
Russia to Face Peru and Chile in Friendly Matches this November
Russia's national football team is gearing up for a series of friendly matches as part of their preparation for potential participation in future tournaments under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA.
The team's schedule includes games against Jordan (early September, in Russia), Qatar (September 7, Er-Rayyan), Iran (October 10, Volgograd Arena), Bolivia (October 14), and Peru (November 12). The exact locations for the matches against Bolivia and Peru have yet to be confirmed.
In their latest friendly match, Russia secured a 4:1 victory against Belarus. Yaroslav Gładyshev, who demonstrated excellent form and efficiency, scored all four goals in this match.
Russia's upcoming opponents and their current FIFA rankings are as follows: Jordan (not specified), Qatar (22nd), Iran (20th), Bolivia (unspecified), and Peru (42nd).
The Russian team will also face Chile on November 15 at the "Fisht" stadium in Sochi. It's important to note that Chile is a two-time Copa América champion, having won in 2015 and 2016. Notably, Chile has a history of defeating Argentina, who had Messi in their ranks, in both of their Copa América victories.
These friendly matches serve as valuable preparation for larger tournaments like the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, Russia's ongoing restrictions in international sports due to geopolitical reasons might affect their participation in some events.
For the most accurate and current FIFA rankings of all opponents, checking the official FIFA website close to match dates is recommended.
These additional friendly matches are a great opportunity for the Russian team to test their skills and strategies against various opponents, as they strive to make a strong comeback in the international football scene.
