We have been following Olusegun closely in recent months. For him, the upcoming match will be a good opportunity to prove himself, given his experience of playing in Russia.
BetBoom friendly match between Russia and Nigeria will be held on Friday, June 6, at the Luzhniki Stadium. The Russian national football team has played exclusively friendly matches since 2022 due to a ban by FIFA.
Olusegun has been playing for Krasnodar since the summer of 2022. Last season, the 23-year-old played 28 matches for the Russian club in all tournaments and scored three goals.
Earlier, the two-time winner of the African Cup of Nations in the national team of Nigeria, ex-midfielder Sani Kaita told Championat about his desire to work as a coach in Russia.
