The ensemble performed at a football tournament with the participation of teams from Russia and Serbia

Despite the rains and cool weather, the next 6 days, from June 30 to July 5, 2025, will be "hot" for football fans. The BetBoom Brotherhood Cup 2025 is a friendly football tournament featuring football clubs from Russia and Serbia.

On the opening day, Dynamo Central Stadium named after Lev Yashin, part of the VTB Arena multifunctional sports complex, hosted a match between Dynamo (Russia) and OFC (Serbia).

The creation of the atmosphere of a sporting holiday was facilitated by the performance at the opening ceremony of the tournament of the Academic Order of Merit in Culture and the Arts of the Ensemble of Song and Dance of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation under the direction of the Artistic Director and Chief Conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General, Hero of Labor of Russia Viktor Eliseev.

Accompanied by the Ensemble's choir, the following songs were performed: "Polyushko-pole" (music by Lev Knipper, lyrics by Viktor Gusev) and "Mother Earth" (music and lyrics by Pyotr Andreyev, soloist – popular performer of Russian folk and author's songs Tatyana Kurtukova).

“We remember and honor our legends, and we proudly preserve our history…” These wonderful lines from the Dynamo Anthem (music by Alexander Klevitsky, lyrics by Ilya Reznik) could be the motto not only of this tournament, but of all Russian sports.

No official ceremony during sports competitions is unthinkable without the performance of the Russian national anthem (music by Alexander Alexandrov, lyrics by Sergei Mikhalkov). Both anthems were sung standing up, in a single burst of sports enthusiasm, together with the Ensemble's choir and its soloists – Honored Artist of Russia Alexey Dmitriev and Honored Artist of the Republic of Dagestan Alexey Kholyavko – by both football players and their numerous fans.

Undoubtedly, the Dynamo team's victory today (the match ended with a score of 4:0) is also a result of the Ensemble's efforts, which provided the athletes with a positive mood and confidence in victory.
