CHILDREN's FOOTBALL, RUSSIA
>> Continuation
>> We try to track it so that there would be no excessive pricing. We get
a lot of offers for trainig camps on the territory of Russia and the Crimea,
abroad. For example, we're going to Estonia or Finland, it is closer to us to
go there than to Sochi, and cheaper, because we can take the bus to
Estonia and Finland to play a normal tournament and come back. This is
several times cheaper than traveling somewhere or fly away somewhere.
Therefore, there is no business component in the football school, there is
a budget that is spent.
RIAS: We would like to talk about geography of tournaments and camps.
Where would it be interesting to develop something? First of all we mean the
Northwestern Federal District.
Mainly proposals for the training camps come from the south,
because they enjoy the good weather there - Sochi, Crimea. We have
offers from Turkey - there are many football clubs, not only youth
football. We came there with teams of different ages. We met a lot of
teams from Moscow and other regions of Russia. Turkey offers
acceptable pricing, comparable to the prices in Russia. Of course, that
was before dollar rate rocketed.
An interesting place is our southern coast.
Infrastructure is developing. Conditions are good
enough. Pricing is lower than abroad. At other times we
prefer tournaments in the Baltic states due to the financial component.
It is cheaper to travel by bus or train throughout the night. There are
many foreign teams and good teams from Europe.
