Chairman of the Board of Directors “Avant-garde” Alexander Krylov did not rule out that a basketball or futsal team could appear in Omsk to increase the return on investment of the new home arena.
From 2018 to 2022, the Omsk club played home games in Balashikha near Moscow. From the 2022/23 season, Avangard returned to Omsk, where a new arena for 12,000 spectators was built. On October 1, Avangard hosted Sibir at home (2-1) for the first time since their return.
— Should we expect other sporting events at the arena? If so, which ones and when?
– Today we were just discussing additional opportunities for additional income, including hosting sporting events. Because the gig business is understandable, you just need to make a decision on the business model that will be implemented next year. As for sporting events, there is a desire to make it either a basketball club or a mini football club. Which side will win – I don’t know, instructions have been given to work in this direction, and a new Avangard may appear.
If you know, Zenit has very successful projects in terms of developing a basketball club, a volleyball club and a mini football club. There are many things, and they are quite successful. If we do, then, of course, Avangard. Avangard is a real brand. Today we discussed that a high quality Avangard beer should appear. Why we don’t sell it – I don’t understand. I know for sure that there are good craft factories in Omsk, and I honestly do not understand why it is impossible to reach an agreement to make high-quality beer. Also, in the arena, beer and ice cream broke all sales records,” the Avangard press service quoted Krylov as saying.
