Alexander Kokorin became a general sponsor of the Children Football League championship final tournament, which will be held in the period between 16 and 21 August in Azov. National team of Russia and Zenit St.Petersburg forward covered all the expenses on the prize money, promotional and commemorative product, payment to the referees, medical service, cultural programme for the participants.

96 teams took part in the matches of qualifying round, and 16 teams will play in the final, as the website of the League informs.

Victor Gorlov, President of Children Football League:"After we lost our general sponsor, we got a problem of financing many our tournaments. We did not want to place the burden of finance coverage of the final to the teams. So we are grateful to Alexander Kokorin, who quickly replied to our request for assistance. By the way, last year he was a general sponsor of another our big festival – Big Stars Send their Light to the Small Ones.

Children football was never rich. But now parents of young players bear the burden of all expenses on the team support coverage. So the assistance of famous players from the Premier League – Granat, brothers Gabulov, Shishkin, Makeev, Erokhin, Gorodov, Glushakov, Margasov and many others -  is really welcome".
