Football superstars play in Grozny

Brazil and Chechnya may be unlikely sporting rivals, but that did not deter Ramzan Kadyrov, the controversial leader of Chechnya, setting up a football match against some of Brazil’s biggest football stars.

And as Al Jazeera’s Neave Barker reports, Kadyrov himself led the local team onto the pitch.
