Euroleague Basketball and VTB Arena Park meet to plan future together
Mr. Jordi Bertomeu and Mr. Andrei Peregoudov met in St. Petersburg
Mr. Jordi Bertomeu, Euroleague Basketball President & CEO, and Mr. Andrei Peregoudov, Head of VTB Arena Park project, met in St. Petersburg, Russia, on the occasion of the 'International Economic Forum' to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the partnership between their organizations and to discuss future projects.
Both parties expressed their will to extend the partnership, as well as their common interest in making of Moscow the host of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in the near future. They agreed on having further meetings later in 2017 to make further progress.
VTB Arena Park is a comprehensive development project that includes the construction of a mixed-use sports and leisure complex, the Dynamo Academy of Sports, Arena Park City Block and Dynamo Sports Park. The main indoor hall is the VTB Arena, while the largest venue is the Dynamo Central Football Stadium, named after Lev Yashin. The project is being built on 32 hectares of land.
The renovated stadium stands out from other modern athletic venues as it will accommodate both the football stadium and a multifunctional sports arena under one roof.
"The Final Four is raising more and more interest amongst potential host cities as it delivers tremendous value to them. Moscow has a well-proven experience in hosting major sports events, and would make a great host for the Final Four," Mr. Bertomeu said. "We hope that VTB Arena Park is able to secure the necessary private and public support to bring the event back to Moscow soon, hopefully in 2019."
