The Island of Dreams and the official FC Dynamo school have opened a season of support for young football talents.

      The Island of Dreams cultural and entertainment cluster and the official Dynamo FC children's football school have successfully launched a joint project aimed at developing youth football. The first event brought together hundreds of young athletes, their parents and fans, giving them a lot of sports excitement, vivid impressions and healthy football competition.

      From inspiration to first victories

      The grand opening ceremony took place on the Moscow Square of the city's Dream Island boardwalk. The guests were expected:

      — Inspiring conversations about football — the coaches of the school and the Dynamo players shared success stories, gave advice and motivation.

      — Photos and autographs — you could take selfies with the players of your favorite club and get a coveted autograph on a ball or a T-shirt.

      The main event of the day was an open training session, where children from 8 to 14 years old demonstrated their football skills under the guidance of experienced school coaches.

      The main prize, a trip to the summer training camp in Sochi, was won by Vladislav Skorodumov (12 years old). And the youngest participant, Matvey Yatsenko (born in 2017), attracted special attention of the audience, who received an autographed ball from the players of the Dynamo main team.

       "It's great that we have such events, and the guys have the opportunity to show themselves, to open up. When they don't worry, they don't worry, but they can show themselves in all their glory. The more such events we have for children, the more our children are involved, including in football," said the mother of one of the young football players.

      There are new stages of cooperation ahead.: training camps, master classes and the selection of promising players in the official school of FC Dynamo.
