MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/. The Russian Football Union is considering options of organizing friendly matches of the national team during the BRICS Games, RFU Secretary General Maxim Mitrofanov told TASS.

"Speaking about tournaments of national teams, they can only be held during the period of international slots; it is challenging to organize a tournament outside the slots. BRICS teams are also participating in their official games, so there is a need to get timing right for participants to be free. We have ideas under consideration. There is an idea of inviting a couple of teams from BRICS countries and play with them during the period of the BRICS Games in Kazan," the official said.

The BRICS Games will be held in Kazan, Russia, from June 12 to 23, 2024, with twenty-five athletic disciplines covered by the program.
