The “BetBoom Bratski Kup” was officially opened in Moscow with a ceremonial outdoor press conference, marking the beginning of the tournament in which Partizan will participate over the coming days.
Coaches from all participating clubs addressed the media: Fabio Celestini (CSKA), Valeri Karpin (Dynamo Moscow), Simo Krunić (OFK Beograd), and Srđan Blagojević, head coach of FK Partizan.
Speaking about the importance of the tournament for his squad, Blagojević stated:
“We’re building a young team with an average age of just 22, and it’s clear that these matches against top teams like CSKA and Dynamo will mean a lot to our players. These games are a great opportunity for young players to prove themselves and, more importantly, to prepare well for the upcoming European qualifiers.”
As a reminder, Partizan will play their first match on July 1st at 6 PM against CSKA at VEB Arena, and their final test is scheduled for July 4th at 6 PM against Dynamo at VTB Arena.
