In a clip released by the Russian space agency Roscosmos, Artemyev, who is sporting an official FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 T-shirt, can be seen setting up a makeshift goalpost aboard the station.
He and Shkaplerov then do their best to kick and throw a football around in zero-gravity.
The ball used in the video was specially flown up to the space station for the stunt and will be returned to the Earth alongside the two cosmonauts aboard a Soyuz capsule on June 3rd.
