The Supreme Council of the Russian Rugby Federation has approved the concept of the revival of Moscow “Spartak”. This is stated in message organization’s press office.
“We have to relaunch the big brands of rugby. We revived Dynamo, which was the USSR champion in rugby. Spartak were silver medalists in the USSR Rugby Championship. Now we make a good line for CSKA and Torpedo. The Spartak Rugby Club project has been approved by us at board level.
The popular club “Spartak”, with which many sympathize, deserves to have a worthy position in rugby. Yesterday we had a meeting with the leaders of the Spartak company, including Yevgeny Lovchev received full support,” said Igor Artemiev, Chairman of the FRR Supreme Council.
— Our development plan is not aggressive and very balanced. We want to achieve all goals on a sporting basis, having assembled a strong team of partners and like-minded people. We have entered the development phase. The goal is to prepare a competitive team and win the Major League in 2022-2024. The main result of the team’s development at the end of the strategic cycle in 2029 will be winning medals at the Russian Championship. Why does Russian rugby need Spartak Rugby Club? The Spartak-Dynamo rugby match is by far the oldest derby, and we will have a full stadium. At least this derby will complete the task of popularizing rugby in general. 229 million rubles is the budget for the stable operation and development of the club,” said Mikhail Makeev, chairman of Spartak rugby club.
