Fans who have already purchased tickets for the Dynamo - Botafogo game on July 10 will be able to issue a refund. Dynamo is working on an alternative match for this date.
PFC CSKA will publish information about the July 4th match on its website. The Dynamo-CSKA match will be played on July 18th at the VTB Arena, as originally scheduled.
What happened: Brazilian club Botafogo notified Dynamo and PFC CSKA of its unilateral withdrawal from the trip to Moscow and its participation in the Brotherhood Cup, contravening formal agreements and previous official statements. Botafogo attributes its decision to internal management reasons. The terms of the Brazilian team's participation had been previously agreed upon, including a penalty for failing to appear for the tournament. Together with PFC CSKA, we will assess the consequences of Botafogo's decision and take the necessary measures to protect the interests of the club, our fans, and our sponsors.
We apologize to the fans for the cancellation, beyond our control, of the previously announced football events. Unfortunately, in the current situation, it is impossible to completely rule out such situations, even with the best efforts of the organizing clubs.
We will keep you informed of any further changes, and ticket sales for the Dynamo-CSKA Bratsk derby on July 18th will open soon.
