On September 4th and 5th regular matches of the national teams took place. As many as six FC Krasnodar players at once made the team sheets of their respective teams. However, only one of them made an appearance in the game.
Andreas Granqvist, FC Krasnodar team captain, played full 90 minutes of the game vs. Russia for his Sweden national team in a Group G fixture of the UEFA 2016 Euro Qualifying that was staged at the Otkrytiye Arena stadium in Moscow. The centre back displayed his regular high level performance going as far as scoring a goal against the home team on the 23rd minute, but this one was canceled by the English referee Clattenburg who had observed the Swede in an offside position.
As a result, our fellow countrymen achieved a 1:0 win thanks to a precise shot by Artyom Dzyuba in the end of the first half. The three black-green players, Fyodor Smolov, Pavel Mamayev and Yury Gazinskiy, spent this game on a bench of the Russian team. Artur Jędrzejczyk of FC Krasnodar also stayed in reserve of the Poland national team. The Polish team lost 1:3 to Germany in a Group D away game in Frankfurt am Main. The new FC Krasnodar player Charles Kaboré made no appearance on the pitch for his Burkina Faso national team either. His team lost 0:1 to Botswana in an away game of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
