Bolivia Refines Strategy Before Friendly Matches in Turkey and Russia

According to Sports 360, the Bolivian national team has planned its activities for the upcoming FIFA window, with two friendlies set: October 10 against Jordan in Istanbul and October 14 against Russia in Moscow. These matches are key in preparing for the intercontinental playoff in March, where Bolivia aims to earn a World Cup spot in Mexico.

The team will gather on October 4, primarily with players from the domestic league, although this date is not within the official FIFA window and will depend on club permissions. If all goes well, Bolivia will hold training sessions in Santa Cruz de la Sierra on October 5 and 6. The team will then depart on October 7, stopping in São Paulo for training and rest before heading to Europe.

By October 8 and 9, the coaching staff hopes to have the entire roster available, which includes the 14 overseas-based players called up recently. After the match with Jordan, La Verde will travel to Moscow for the second friendly four days later.

For Bolivia, these matches are about more than just winning. They offer crucial time to develop teamwork, improve tactics, and gain international exposure ahead of a significant playoff that could lead them to the World Cup.
