The tour was made possible thanks to the Rio club’s excellent relationship with the Russian teams, which are expected to cover all logistical costs for the black-and-white delegation.

The Black-and-White Schedule

June 22: The squad returns to Rio de Janeiro to begin physical training at Espaço Lonier.

July 1: Departure of the delegation, made up of around 30 players, for Russia.

July 5: First main friendly, against CSKA Moscow, at the opponent’s stadium.

July 6: An alternative training match focused on giving playing time to players with fewer minutes and those who did not start the previous game.

July 10: Second main friendly, against Dynamo Moscow, along with another secondary match for the rest of the squad.

July 11: Botafogo’s official return to Brazil.

The black-and-white players had been off since June 5, after the match against Bahia in the Brasileirão. The full focus now is on getting the team ready for the return of official competitions, scheduled for July 22 against Santos at Nilton Santos, in the 19th round of the national championship.
