Coach: Netherlands Dick Advocaat
On 11 May 2012, Advocaat named a provisional list of 26 players for the tournament. Vasili Berezutski and Roman Shishkin withdrew on 20 and 24 May respectively, Berezutski with a thigh injury and Shishkin due to a stomach complaint. Advocaat named his final squad on 25 May 2012; Kirill Nababkin was named having not been included in the provisional party.
Russia - Dick Advocaat was angry his side got sloppy against Poland and may tweak his starting line-up to rest tired legs. His strikeforce will stay the same though, with Andrey Arshavin looking more influential. Forward Alex Kokorin is out of the tournament with a hamstring injury.
