Daughters of the chairman of the board of directors of the Moscow Dynamo football club Alessandra Ivleva They proposed in one of the matches of the Russian championship. Ivlev talked about this in an interview.

Ivlev headed the Dynamo board of directors on October 6.

“I also have many memorable matches related both to the club and to my family. For example, my daughters brought Igor Semshov and Kevin Kuranyi to the field, which was very pleasant for me. I also remember the match with a personal theme, when my youngest daughter received a proposal from her future husband during the Dynamo – Spartak match. It was in our Dynamo stadium. So “Dynamo” is part of my family’s history,” Ivlev said.

He also told how the story of supporting Dynamo began. “I really, really love football. The first time I went to a match was in 1974. My father was a member of the Dynamo club, he even gave me his membership card, the membership fees were glued there. So, he took me to football for the first time. This is the Dynamo – Torpedo match at the old Dynamo stadium. To be honest, I rarely felt such emotions in childhood,” Ivlev noted. — Come, you see a large number of worried people, looking at 22 people on the field. To a guy, these are guys who run and hit the ball. I have already seen this at the level of children’s football in the yard. And here he is as an adult, really, when the fans in the stands scream. In fact, I was very impressed at that moment. From then on, when my father went to games, he always took me with him. Then I started going to the games too. When I started working in business, I often went on trips and went with my friends to watch games in other cities. And in Moscow I have been trying to go to all the home games for 18 years.”

“I played matches at Khimki Arena. I attended almost every match, even when Dynamo was relegated to the National Football League (FNL). Now at the stadium you can often see me in the stands, in the Platinum zone and on the floor, where there are many children’s activities and entertainment, and my granddaughter and I do face painting for her, all kinds of Dynamo symbols on her cheeks. The whole family comes with me and has supported the club for a long time,” added the interlocutor.

President of the Krasnodar football club Sergei Galitsky made a significant contribution to the development of national football and showed an example of effective construction of a private club. This opinion was expressed by the former Moscow coach CSKA and the Russian national team Valeri Gazzaev.

December 29, President of Russia Vladimir Putin awarded Galitsky the Order of Friendship. The head of state noted his merits in the development of physical culture and sports, as well as many years of conscientious work.

“I really appreciate Sergei Galitsky’s contribution to the development of national football. He made a great contribution not only to the history of Krasnodar, but also to Russian football and sport in general. I believe that Sergei Galitsky is an example of how to build a private club. This is the most important thing, because the future of our football, in my opinion, lies in private clubs. Krasnodar has built a modern sports infrastructure, a strong children’s academy and in fact created a model of how a football club should develop, so this is an example for other teams,” Gazzaev said.

“Of course, the award received is deserved. I sincerely congratulate Sergei Nikolaevich, wish him good health, prosperity and further success, new achievements and strength to realize all his planned projects for the benefit of Russian football. He showed what a private football club could and should be. The future of our football lies in private clubs,” he added.

Galitsky is 58 years old. He founded Krasnodar in February 2008. In the 2024/25 season, the club became champions of Russia, winning the first trophy in history. In the current season of the World Cup – Russian Premier League, Krasnodar is in 1st place, gaining 40 points after 18 matches.

“We will also talk to Alexander Čeferin about his arrival in Russia. A football event is planned in January where we will also have the opportunity to communicate on this topic,” Dyukov said.
