They grew into deep partnerships and friendships at the club management level. We have implemented many projects. This one is a continuation of what happened last year. Yes, that tournament was quite minimalistic, we played two matches, introduced new rules: there were “challenges”, three halves of 30 minutes each. More than 30 thousand fans came to the tournament. We received a lot of positive feedback from fans and sponsors. We are thinking about continuing.»
