Captain and goalkeeper of CSKA Moscow Igor Akinfeev said he had created a tournament between children’s teams for young players to enjoy football.
The Igor Akinfeev Cup tournament will bring together 16 children’s football teams from the Moscow region. The competitions will take place in Khimki on August 21 and 22.
“Ideas always come suddenly. You understand that as a child you went through tournaments, so you decided to make such a story. I do not want to be a participant, but to attract children who can show their talent and perseverance. The most important thing is that the guys feel comfortable and enjoy every minute of the tournament. We do this to get guys stoned at football,” Akinfeev said on .
– When Akinfeev proposed this tournament in 2018, it was local. Every year it has grown, now it is already international. In addition, next year we are already thinking about friendly countries, for example Serbia. We will invite everyone, including China,” said Dmitry Abarenov, Minister of Physical Culture and Sports of the Moscow region.
