Possibly if they've had home games there. I think I remember the Russian national team playing a game at the stadium in Moscow ,Luinski (??? - not sure of name) stadium or something and it was the first time American Football style posts had been used in RL.

New Hunslet were playing with American Football Posts circ 1975 ..... which is a long time before the game was ever played in Russia at a national level
