We invite you to study our opponent - PFC Kuban

The head coach of PFC Kuban is a graduate of the Nizhnekamsk sports school, Soviet and Russian football player - Robert Gennadievich Evdokimov. As a player, he began his career in the Tatar teams of the lower leagues, and a few years later he made his debut in the Major League as part of KAMAZ from Naberezhnye Chelny. Then there were seasons in the Moscow “Spartak”, the Ramensky “Saturn” and the Samara “Wings of the Soviets”. As a coach, he worked at KAMAZ, Orenburg, Tobol, Rotor, Nizhny Novgorod, Akhmat and one season at Kuban, where he returned a couple of years later.

PFC Kuban plays its home matches at the stadium of the same name "Kuban" of the State Budgetary Institution KK "DESS". This magnificent structure, built near Lake Karasun with a capacity of almost 32,000 people, is one of the calling cards of the region, and the history of the stadium, opened back in 1960, includes hundreds of matches of the local team in championships and cups of the USSR, and later in Russia.

The team will spend the upcoming season in an unusual status and tournament - “LEON-Second League A”. Unfortunately, the reason for this was the unsatisfactory performance of the team in the Football National League, where the team with 23 points scored after 34 rounds took 18th place out of 18 participating teams and was forced to leave the second strongest division of Russian football, which was an absolute shock not only for the management club, but also for the team’s large army of fans.

In preparation for the upcoming season in LEON-Second League A, PFC Kuban has already held several training matches. In the first of them, the opponent was the leader of the championship of the Krasnodar region - the PSK team, and the meeting ended with a score of 1:1. This was followed by a minimal defeat from the Krasnodar football club with a score of 0:1, and just a few days ago they failed to win again - this time the offender was “Chaika” from the village of Peschanokopskoye, and the meeting ended with a score of 0:2.

Before the start of the new season, the team is strengthening not only its playing position on the field, but also forming a capable coaching and management staff. Thus, the famous Soviet and Russian football player Oleg Aleksandrovich Veretennikov became the team’s senior coach. The new goalkeeper coach is an experienced specialist who recently worked in a similar position at the Orenburg football club - Platon Platonovich Zakharchuk. Nikolai Nikolaevich Khlystunov returned to the club as deputy general director for sports, where he will search not only for professional football players, but also for home-grown, local guys. And the new head of the team was Evgeniy Aleksandrovich Kryachik, who, as a football player in 1998, defended the colors of the club.
