Everything for the fans!

An opening ceremony of the Granatkin Memorial took place in the Peterburgsky SCC. The right of the ceremonial kick-off was given to Eduard Batkin, the best coach of Saint Petersburg who led his female “Avrora” team to the Russian Championship trophy last year. The visitors warmly welcomed young players who were uncovering their national flags during introduction of participants on three giant screens.

 A lot of interesting activities are offered to the football fans in the lobby of the venue this year. Ded Moroz was amusing kids and adults with various contests. Each attendant got a chance to play kicker right next to the “Football Factory” stand. Everyone who touched the “Lucky Boot” presented by National Team Supporters Club “Russia Unites” can now hope to have better luck on the football pitches. This year’s traditional historical exhibition is dedicated to stamps and envelopes covering three topics: “The FIFA World Cup official Licensed products”, “Football stamps USSR \ Russia”, “Football stamps of the former republics of the USSR”.
