Athletistic / Football. The founder and president of the Media League, Nikolai Osipov, spoke about organizing an international tournament between media football teams.
“We now have an international agenda. We are talking about major international competitions with the presence of Russia. Of course, with a flag and an anthem. These are not empty words. In the sports media industry, we will be the first to declare ourselves so loudly. In addition, we are going to hold large-scale competitions: Russia, China, USA, India, Brazil, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates. And all this under the auspices of media football . Cool !
This is a very specific tournament, a specific plan – the World Championship between media teams. This should take place in November. Given that it will be late autumn, this is unlikely in Russia. Most likely, he will be either in Dubai or in China, on the island of Hainan,” Osipov was quoted as saying by the Championship.
The media football league was established by businessman Nikolai Osipov in 2022. In February 2023, the league created its own team and Dmitry Kuznetsov became its head coach. On March 24, the first friendly match of the national team took place, and the opponent was the RPL club Krylya Sovetov. In February 2024, the first Media League Super Cup took place, in which 2DROTS, Rodina Media, Titan and Broke Boys participated.
