From November 6 to 8, the Dynamo Academy named after Lev Yashin in the Republic of Dagestan hosted the traditional Caspian Dynamo Academy Cup in memory of Honored coach of Russia Abdulmanap Magomedovich Nurmagomedov.
This year's competition fell on an important date of the "Dynamo history" – the 80th anniversary of the famous post-war British tour in 1945, when our players discovered Soviet football for the world, showing high sportsmanship and never losing to the leading British teams of that time – Chelsea, Cardiff City, Arsenal and The Rangers. This sports festival was held with the support of partners — PJSC SOLLERS and PJSC VTB Bank.
The tournament became a bright sporting event, bringing together the Dynamo Academy teams from Moscow, Dagestan, Altai Krai, Voronezh and Ulyanovsk regions, as well as guests from Makhachkala and Vladikavkaz. For three days, young football players competed for prizes, demonstrating a high level of skill, cohesion, dignity and the will to win.
The teams of the Dynamo Academy from Moscow and the Academy branch from Voronezh competed for the first place in the finals. The academicians of the capital turned out to be stronger and, following the results of the tournament, took the coveted first place. Bronze medals of the tournament were won by pupils of the Dynamo Academy in Dagestan.
Participants, in addition to medals, also received individual awards and special prizes from PJSC SOLLERS, and during the tournament parents and guests of the competition could take part in various activities.
