As Oleg Kapitanov, chairman of the city’s Committee on Inter-Ethnic Relations and the Implementation of Migration Policy, told me, this unusual sports spectacle was attended by veterans of the national team of our country, African footballers who played in the RPL. (Russian Premier League).
But, first of all, of course, the delegates and guests who worked these days at the second international.
As news agencies reported on the same evening, famous footballers Vladimir Gabulov, Ruslan Pimenov, Dmitry Sychev, Roman Shirokov, Evgeny Aldonin, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Alexei Igonin played for the Russian national team (head coach Alexander Mostovoy). (A summit guest, well-known Russian businessman Viktor Bout, spoke under N 25.)
