Baltika CEO Volzhenkin announced his desire to become champions in the First League

Baltika CEO Kirill Volzhenkin told Metaratings.ru that he is happy with the team’s early promotion to the RPL, but now there is a desire to win in MELBET First League.

Baltika won the right to play in the MIR RPL in the 2023/24 season. The Kaliningrad team last played in the top division of the Russian championship 25 years ago.

“Emotions are amazing right now. It took 25 years for the city to return to the Premier League. I am very glad that we were able to do this. A huge joy for the entire region and for the entire Baltika.

I watched the match between Akron and Alania, the whole office also watched. The team was just at the stadium and after training, the whole team sat in the locker room to watch the game until the very end. We all watched and were very glad that everything ended like that.

– Sergei Ignashevich has repeatedly noted that there is no task to win the First League. There is only one goal – to get into the RPL. Now what are the plans?

– That’s right, the global task was to get out, but the appetite comes with eating. I personally want us to take first place and win the championship, so the task is to beat Rubin,” Volzhenkin said.

On Saturday, Baltika (64 points) will host Rubin Kazan (62), which is second in the standings. It is enough for a club from Tatarstan to score one point to return to the Premier League.

Watch the live broadcast of the match from 21:25 (Moscow time) on Match TV and MATCH PREMIER channels, as well as matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
