Three African soccer players were reportedly invited to Russia to play for FC Ural — but ended up being sent to the war in Ukraine.

In 2025, 19-year-old Cameroonian player Stevis Astrid Mevungu Mbe, his brother, and a friend received an offer from a supposed agent to join the Russian club. Not knowing Russian, they signed documents and flew to Moscow.

But after landing, they were taken not to a training facility, but to a military recruitment office.

It turned out the papers they had signed were actually one-year military contracts. They were allegedly told they could return to soccer after serving.
