The Alba Fehervar vs Igokea 2022 International Club Friendly Games match will take place on September 15, i.e on Thursday. WNBA star Brittney Griner is facing a 9-year term in a Russian jail camp, and today’s rising Cold War-like tensions between the Kremlin and the West are forcing Russian basketball, hockey, and soccer teams out of international play. Additionally, a large number of the former “legionnaires”—foreign players—on whom they depend are terminating their agreements and departing the nation. Since significant doping charges mainly pulled official Russia out of the Olympics, the estrangement of Russian athletes from international sports has been a continuing tale. Most international sports federations have prohibited Russian teams from participating in upcoming events as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.
The fate of the hundreds of foreign athletes who, like Ms. Griner, had contributed their skills to remote local Russian sports teams that had been building reputations at the national and European levels is less well known. All of that has come to a screeching halt due to the conflict, which has also dashed Russian basketball and soccer teams’ aspirations of winning the European championship. Numerous American and European players have left, and the handful who are still playing are receiving a lot of criticism. In the Russian sports media, there has been much discussion over the migration of foreign legionnaires. Some argue it signals the end of Russia’s sporting dreams for a generation, while others assert it will increase chances for Russian athletes and advance local sports growth.
