This event marks the first time the Grenadian team will compete on Russian soil, a move that underscores the Grenada Football Association’s ambitions for international exposure and growth.
This groundbreaking match is anticipated to attract substantial attention, not only for its historic significance but also for the chance it provides Grenadian players to measure their skills against a top-tier opponent. The encounter is part of GFA’s broader strategy to enhance its competitive edge and provide players with opportunities to showcase their talents beyond the region, thereby increasing their visibility to clubs worldwide.
“We are excited about this opportunity to play against Russia,” said Marlon Glean, President of the Grenada Football Association (GFA). “This match will allow our players to gain invaluable experience and demonstrates the GFA’s commitment to National Teams development.
