Krasnodar cooler than Nicaragua? Russia's opponents' coach shocked by the city

On the pre-match press conference, the Nicaraguan admitted that the city impressed him with its beauty and climate.

"The flight was tough and exhausting, but we recovered. It's impossible to have such a city in our region. Primarily because of the weather. Krasnodar is very beautiful. We have beautiful cities, but not like this," — Figueroa stated.

According to him, Russia's southern capital left an indelible impression on the entire delegation.

"Great country and our pride" — this is how Russian fans reacted to the sincere compliment.

Krasnodar, combining a Mediterranean climate, modern infrastructure, and hospitality, continues to amaze foreign guests. The match promises to be a real football holiday in one of Russia's most beautiful cities.
