More than 1,500 people with different disabilities were able to attend the match as guests of the club and the Russian Football Union and cheer on Russia as they defeated Iraq 2-0 at the Gazprom Arena.

We firmly believe football should be accessible for everyone, so Zenit always provide free audio descriptions of all our matches for those with sight issues, and this international match included sign language interpretation for the hearing impaired.

Over 1,000 tickets were also given to other social causes, such as childrens' home and youth centres, to enable them to attend the match against Iraq. 

Football for all!
