The summer tournament featuring Moscow CSKA, Dinamo, Serbian clubs OFK and Partizan will be held in Moscow, as announced by Dynamo’s General Manager Pavel Pivovarov and reported by RIA Novosti. The event brings together football traditions from Russia and Serbia in a city renowned for hosting major sports showcases.
According to Pivovarov, the format is city-driven: clubs earn points for their home city rather than for themselves. The setup consists of four matches and four performances, split into two 45-minute halves. The organizers envision active involvement from ambassadors who help bridge football and cultural exchange during the event. The plan emphasizes a competitive cadence that keeps fans engaged across different venues and moments of the tournament.
The schedule sets the action in July. Dinamo and Partizan are slated to open the series as the third match, followed by CSKA against OFK the following day. Dinamo will meet OFK on July 6, and CSKA is planned to face Partizan on July 7. The sequence creates a compact, high-energy window of games that will capture attention across both clubs and their fans.
Meanwhile, Dynamo is pursuing a championship push in the Russian Premier League (RPL). With two rounds remaining, Marcel Lička’s squad leads the table with 53 points, while Zenit St. Petersburg sits two points behind in second place. CSKA remains in sixth position with 42 points, but the club is still active in the Russian Cup. In the RPL Road Final, Vladimir Fedotov’s team is contesting Zenit. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, and the return fixture is scheduled for May 15, reflecting the high-stakes nature of the late-season run.
In recent history, the former Spartak GM hinted that Dynamo could emerge as Russia’s champion, underscoring the club’s ambition and the competitive balance shaping the league this season.
