The Russian Football Union canceled the training camp of the national team in June. Initially, it was planned to hold a friendly match with the Cameroon national team during this period.

However, at the last moment, the Cameroonians refused to travel to Moscow. The next time the coaching staff under the leadership of Valery Karpin will meet with the players in September. The decision of the RFU to ignore the CAFA championship, to which the Russians were invited, to be held from 9 to 21 June, may be wrong.
