The head coach of the national team of Russia Lev Voronin confirmed in an interview to Handballfast that the national team will participate in the tournament involving the first and the second national teams of Belarus and the team of Iraq in Minsk from October 31 to November 2. The match between the national teams of Russia and Iraq will open the friendly tournament on October 31 at 16.00. The full schedule is here!
— We have known for some time that there would be a training session in late October and early November,— Lev Gennadyevich explained in an interview with Handballfast. — Regarding the rivals, only yesterday the Belarusian side officially provided the tournament schedule involving their first and second teams. As far as we see, there are enough handball players there to make two competitive teams, especially in case of arrival of legionnaires. However, no information about this has been provided yet, we are also not ready to announce our line-up. We will do it next week.
As for the national team of Iraq, I can say that it definitely should not be underestimated, it is quoted quite well in Asia… And generally, handball is developing successfully in the Persian Gulf region, and matches with this team will mean a new experience for us.
