Zenit fan clubs organized the event: by 11.00 a.m. on Sunday morning children from the SOS Children’s Village had put Zenit scarves on the famous lions of St. Petersburg’s Lviny Bridge across the Griboedov Canal. At 12:00 students from the Gatchnina boarding scool dressed 29 lions next to the Bezborodko dacha in blue-white-sky blue scarves, and an hour before the match students from Hertzen University clothed the lions on the Neva River bank alongside Palace Bridge in Zenit scarves.

The lion is a traditional symbol of St. Petersburg and Zenit. On Sunday, when Zenit was crowned 2010 Russian champion, the St. Petersburg lions were clothed in Zenit scarves.
