European Football Championship 2016 / Russia
This article covers the Russian national team at the 2016 European Football Championship in France . For Russia it was the fifth participation and since Russia was able to qualify as a separate team for the first time in 1996, the Russians only missed the finals once (2000).
qualification
Russia, which was set at the group draw in Pot 1, completed the qualification for the European Championship in the group G . After the preliminary round at the 2014 World Cup , Fabio Capello had led the Russians into the qualification, but on July 14, 2015 he was dismissed one month after a home defeat against Austria. Under his successor Leonid Sluzki the remaining four games could then be won, so that Russia qualified as group runner-up for the European Championship finals. Austria won the group and qualified for the finals for the first time. The third-placed Swedes were able to prevail in the playoffs of the third group against Denmark .
Overall, the two coaches used 34 players, of which only goalkeeper Igor Akinfejew was used in all ten games. Sergei Ignaschewitsch and Alexander Kokorin were each missing . Seven players were able to enter the goalscorer list, as the best Russian goalscorer Artjom Dzjuba with eight goals, who scored four goals in the second game against Liechtenstein. Dzjuba was the fourth best scorer in the qualification, but had the lowest playing time of the ten top scorers. Only in the first game under Leonid Sluzki, Oleg Kuzmin, a newcomer came to his first international match. In the 7-0 win against Liechtenstein, Sergei Ignaschewitsch outbid Viktor Onopko's Russian record with his 110th international match , making him the only Russian national record player.
In the FIFA world rankings , the Russians, who fell to 23rd place after the preliminary round of the World Cup, even fell back to 33rd place during qualifying, but were able to improve again to 23rd place in the end.

In the draw for the six final groups on December 12, 2015, the Russians were only placed in Pot 2, so there was a risk that they would face hosts France, defending champions Spain or world champions Germany in the group stage. Ultimately, they were drawn to group B with England. Other opponents were the two newcomers to the European Championship, Slovakia and Wales, making this the only group with two newcomers. Against England, which they met in the first group game, there were only two games before, both in qualifying for the European Championship 2008 , both of which won one game each. After the Russians fell behind in the 73rd minute with a free kick directly converted by Eric Dier , they managed to equalize in stoppage time through captain Vasily Berezuzki . Against Slovakia, against which there had been three wins, three draws and two defeats in eight games, they lost 2-1, so that the record against the Slovaks is now even. In the last group game against Wales, against which they had previously won three times and played once, they had to win to reach the round of 16. But they fell 0-1 in the 11th minute and later had to accept two more goals, so that they lost to the Welsh for the first time and were eliminated as the bottom of the group. More goals were only prevented by goalkeeper Akinfejew , who was the only Russian to receive a satisfactory grade from the kicker , while the performance of his teammates was consistently rated as “poor” or “unsatisfactory”. After the end, national coach Sluzki made his office available.
With a total of ten European Championship games, Sergei Ignaschewitsch has now also become the record player for the Russian Championship.
On June 30, national coach Leonid Sluzki resigned from his post.
Russia lost 100 points and nine places in the FIFA world rankings as a result of the European Championship games .
