Dynamo players Bozic, Petrova and Sergeeva in the national teams

Before the men's European Championship had even died down, in the midst of summer, women's national teams gathered to hold friendly and most combative official matches. Dynamo Moscow players also took a direct part in them.

Two players from the Dynamo main team - midfielder Daniella Petrova and striker Ekaterina Sergeeva - went as part of the Russian youth team to distant Ecuador to play two friendly games there with the women's youth team of this country. The matches ended with scores of 1:2 and 2:0, respectively: Sergeeva played in both meetings, Petrova came on as a substitute in the second, victorious game.

Kristina Komissarova was called up to the Russian national team for a friendly match with the DPRK national team (0:3 and 0:0), however, for medical reasons, the blue and white striker left the team a few days after the start of training camp. Whether she will take part in Dynamo's next match in the Super League with Krasnodar will be decided by the medical staff of our team on the eve of the meeting.

Traditionally, the coaching staff of the Russian national team, led by Yuri Krasnozhan, was joined by goalkeeping coach of the Dynamo Football Club Vitaliy Shadrin.

Another Dynamo football player, youth team defender Polina Golubeva, also played in friendly matches - in Minsk as part of the Belarus youth team against Zorka-BDU (4:0) and peers from Uzbekistan (1:0 and 6:1).

The decisive matches for her team and the country were played by the central defender of Dynamo and the Montenegro national team Helena Bozic, who, together with her compatriots, continues to fight for a ticket to the European Championship.

Surprisingly, the iron and irreplaceable Dynamo did not take part in the first match of the qualification for Euro 2025 - away from the Faroe Islands team, and the Montenegrins suffered a sensational defeat (1:2). In the second game, at home with the Greek national team, the main rival of the Montenegrins in the qualifying group, Bozic was in the starting lineup, played the entire match and was marked in the protocol with a yellow card, but the Montenegrin team lost again - 2:3.

Thus, the Montenegro team will continue to qualify for Euro 2025 in Switzerland, but within the framework of a two-round playoff, following which the remaining 7 countries participating in the European Championship will become known. This stage of the qualifying tournament will take place from October to December this year.
