The Grand Festival of Football winners trained in Sochi

The final stage of the Grand Festival of Football was held at the Southern Federal Sports Training Centre and was organised by the Gazprom Academy with the support of Gazprombank.
Throughout the summer, the Grand Festival of Football was held in six cities across Russia in Saratov, Sochi, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Omsk and Yekaterinburg. The five winners of each stage have gone for an autumn holiday to the Sochi sports camp where the boys held classes with academy coaches Dmitry Vasilyev, Maksim Mosin and Sergey Kiselev. 

The cost of the boy's flights, education, accommodation, cultural and entertainment was paid for by Gazprombank . 

During the week, 30 boys will have full training sessions and some of the children will be invited to join the Zenit Academy. As part of the festival's cultural program the participants will visit the city's Oceanarium, Olympic Park, the Museum of Nikola Tesla and the many attractions around Sochi Park.
