VTB commented on the victory of the Dynamo Moscow rugby club

The appearance of the Dynamo Moscow rugby team in the finals of the Russian PARI Championship after defeating Yenisei-STM is a sporting sensation. This was stated by Viktor Lukyanov, Senior vice president of VTB Bank, which supports the club.

"Dynamo rugby won a sensational victory and made it to the finals of the Russian PARI Championship for the first time in recent history. We expected to win, but the game against the undisputed leader of Yenisei-STM exceeded all expectations. As the general sponsor, VTB congratulates the team on this strong breakthrough. The bank joined rugby support only in 2020, but together with the club over the past five years, we have attracted strong players, assembled a competitive team and built a professional athlete training system, and Dynamo Moscow rugby has gone from a Major League winner to one of the leaders of the elite division. Dynamo pushed the leader for the first time since 2008 and snatched a historic victory, so now we are all waiting for a strong, effective final," Lukyanov said.

Dynamo Moscow scored a 48:29 victory over Krasnoyarsk Yenisei-STM in the second semi-final match of the Russian Rugby Championship on October 4 in Krasnoyarsk and reached the finals of the tournament for the first time in the team's history. Dynamo Moscow head coach Yuri Kushnarev noted that the victory was a historic moment, but recalled that the championship final was ahead. "It's too early to make detailed plans for the finals. First, we need to wait to see who our opponent will be. As soon as this becomes known, we will conduct a thorough analysis and begin preparing. We will play for the championship," he concluded.
