Dinamo finished the season 2011/12 in the fifth place and got the right to participate in the Challenge Cup.
“The team gatheres on August 1st in Krasnodar, and on 6th we leave for a two-week camp in Anapa. Our plan is to take part in one or two pre-season tournaments. It is hard to talk about potential sparring partners at the moment, since most of the clubs are on vacation now”, said Andrey Makarov, Dinamo’s general manager.
