MOSCOW, August 13, Oleg Bogatov. The Kursk Dynamo basketball players will undergo a medical examination and begin training for the new season outside the region, the club's press attaché Stepan Danekin said.
Earlier, Acting Governor of the Kursk Region Alexey Smirnov announced the cancellation of all mass events. In the Kursk, as well as the Belgorod and Bryansk regions, a counter-terrorist operation (CTO) regime is in effect to ensure the safety of citizens and prevent threats of terrorist attacks by Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance units.
«Our main team Dynamo, which plays in the Premier League, is just coming out of vacation this week. The players will first undergo a medical examination outside of Kursk, most likely in Moscow or the Moscow region. All three of our teams that are part of the club's structure will prepare for the season outside of the regional center. For example, our youth team Dynamo-Farm is currently in the Moscow region,» Danekin said.
«The Russian Championship begins in October, and last season the team held the first stage of preparation in the Moscow region. In September, it is planned to hold the traditional tournament «Kursk Region Governor's Cup» in Kursk before the start of the national championship, with the participation of four teams. The exact dates will be known later,» the agency's interlocutor added.
