Before the friendly match between the Russian national team and Nicaragua in Krasnodar, the guests' head coach Marco Figueroa was lavish in his praise for the southern capital.

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.
