The day before the SuperCup-2021 start a VIP game was held at VTB Arena, which was also attended by the United League President Sergey Kushchenko and the League GM Ilona Korstin.
VTB United League President Sergey Kushchenko, about the benefits of holding such events:
– The basketball industry is not only about players, teams and a basketball game. There are a lot of people around basketball who love this game, and they are no less important for this basketball construction. That’s why I started a tradition since the Perm period: we gathered all the sponsoring companies that helped Ural-Great to play basketball before the games. A large arena, a locker room, a T-shirt-these are all the details and attributes of big basketball. After some time, such games were held in CSKA, and now we have done and continue to organise charity games in the VTB League, at which we often raise funds. For example, at the All-Star Game, we cooperate with the Anastasia Foundation and help children with disabilities. Politicians, bankers, show business stars-basketball is available to everyone and these people like to do good deeds.
