Saransk residents are sad that Argentina will not play a match in Mordovia and upset about the team's losses in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, director of the S.D. Erzia Mordovian Republican Museum of Fine Arts Lyudmila Narbekova said at the city press center.

She said that Stepan Erzia, in whose honor the museum was named, has close ties with Argnetina: he lived in the country for 23 years not far from a football stadium in Buenos-Aires and loved watching the Argentines' training sessions.
