Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russian Federation
Dear friends,
I would like to offer my congratulations on the 100th anniversary of foundation of Football club CSKA, one of the most titled in Russian football.
Hundreds of talented players were raised here, men who brought fans much joy with spectacular and effective football. The names of outstanding masters such as Grigory Fedotov and Vsevolod Bobrov, Valentin Nikolayev and Albert Shesternev are for good written in the history of sports.
CSKA have won the national league title many times. The club has achieved success on the international arena, being the first Russian one to win the UEFA Cup.
I am certain that the current generation of CSKA players will multiply the victorious traditions of their predecessors.
I wish you good luck in the game and all the very best.
