Last weekend the team of FSUE “State ATM Corporation”, “Rossiya”, won the VI World Controllers’ Cup, which took place in Miami, USA.

In the semi-finals, our team won a 2:0 victory against the home team, whom they had already beaten at the group stage. Despite the score, it was a rather strenuous game: firstly, because the USA team felt comfortable at home; and secondly, it is always hard to defeat the same rival twice in one tournament.

The struggle in the final was also very tough, resulting in our footballers winning a close 1-0 against their colleagues from “Europe” international team.

Thus, the Russian team have been defending their leadership of the world football championship for six years in a row and remain the only team to have ever won the World Controllers’ Cup.
