On 8th November 2009 the Fall In-Door Football Tournament will take place in aid of raising money for Russian children with Down syndrome. Isn’t that a good enough reason to compete!
Despite its relatively short history, the football tournament is one of Downside Up’s most exciting sport events. With the Dynamo in-door arena providing a great backdrop, the competition is on! Teams always wonder what level of opposition they may face. Previous corporate teams include:
Nike, ВЕЛЕС Капитал,
ЭксонМобил Раша Инк., Voerman International Moscow, Baker&McKenzie, Кэдбери, Renaissance & Courtyard by Marriott Hotels of Russia, ВТБ 24, CliffordChance, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Johnson&Johnson, ABM Sport, Deloitte and others. The team of a popular TV presenter Michael also takes part in the tournaments. Show off your team’s skills- whether it is to regain the cup or conquer all! As to the opponents, this tournament will certainly live up to your expectations. For participation, please contact Yana Yakusheva (
