During the few hours of this one-day event 7,300 people visited the festival, which included a large football pitch, workshops, trainers from the Gazprom Academy as well as rides, freestyle competitions, table football and other entertainment. 350 boys participated in the selection for the Autumn blue-white-sky blue camp with Gazprombank.

A number were selected from Omsk and they will join another 25 participants from other cities at the camp. Zenit will organise special training sessions for the boys to develop their key football skills. The costs for the participants including flight, education, accommodation and entertainment for the children at the camp will be paid totally by Gazprombank. 

Omsk became the fifth city this summer to host the Grand Festival of Football with the next stage in Yekaterinburg. More information about the project is available here.
