Foreign Minister Peter Siyyarto He spoke to the source about the possible holding of a friendly match with the Russian national football team.
I hope that sport will connect. I also believe that in all sports, athletes will be able to participate based on sporting results and achievements, not geopolitical points. We are now seeing an important step forward, as Russian swimmers participated in the 2024 World Cup. Russian judokas are participating in the World Cup, which is being held in Budapest. I hope this will also be possible in football. Currently, Belarus uses Hungarian stadiums as their home ground, as they have not been closed, but they cannot hold matches in their country.
We hope that with this approach, Russia will also be able to return to the international arena. When this happens, we will begin negotiations on the possible holding of the match between the Russian and Hungarian national teams.
