Raimkul Attakurov told a news conference that the match, the date of which is yet to be agreed on, would most likely take place at a police sporting facility.

Although the nationalist group concerned was not named, Russian media speculated that the ambassador had in mind the ultra-right Slavyansky Soyuz (Slavic Union) movement, headed by Dmitry Demushkin.

Attakurov held talks with Demushkin last February, inviting the leader of the Nazi-inspired group to Kyrgyzstan. After his trip, Demushkin told the BBC that Kyrgyzstan was one of the few countries where the people "related well to Russians."
