The winner of the "Get to Zenit" contest has begun training at the Gazprom Academy

Roman Vedischev from Lipetsk, winner of our contest to find new talent has joined up with our 2008 academy team.
About 350 boys entered the competition to join the Zenith Academy. They sent us clips and videos of them showing their football skills. 

Director of the Academy, Anatoly Davydov, reviewed at all the entrants and selected the 12 finalists who then came for a trial, with Roman Vedischev from Lipetsk being the overall winner. He will receive the opportunity to take part in a week-long training camp with the academy, as well as attend our next two home matches against Villarreal and Ufa.
