Thanks to the support of the SOYUZ Corporation, young Kaliningradians got the opportunity to fight for the title of the winner in the B class group (children 15-16 years old) with the world's strongest youth teams - the national teams of Brazil, Colombia, Spain. As Sergei Vasiliev, President of SOYUZ Corporation, noted , the prestigious international tournament organized under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA is the main world football event for children of all ages. Over the 15 years of the championship's existence, today's legends of world football have repeatedly participated in it: the four-time winner of the Golden Ball award Lionel Messi and his colleagues at the Barcelona club Gerard Piqué, Cesc Fabregas and Neymar da Silva, as well as the midfielder of the Spanish national team Juan Manuel Mata. “Participation in such a significant sports tournament is an invaluable experience for future stars of Russian football. Although the Kaliningraders failed to win the honorary trophy - the winner's cup, the performance in Barcelona became an excellent motivation for Krylia for further self-development. And I hope that the guys will reach the finals of the championship next year, ”said Sergei Vasiliev. This is by no means the first social project of the SOYUZ Corporation within the framework of the development of the regional target program “Physical culture and sports for everyone”. The company has been supporting the national futsal team of the Kaliningrad region for many years. The debut of the national team in the 2009 Russian Championship brought her bronze medals, securing the right to play in the Eurocup, and all the players - the title of "Master of Sports of Russia".
