From competition to cooperation
The management of the volleyball clubs "Gazprom-Ugra" and "Ugra-Samotlor" came to an agreement to establish partnerships: Nizhnevartovsk team becomes a farm club of Surgut. This is a balanced and logical decision, which streamlines and optimizes the development of volleyball in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Ugra.
In recent years, it has been difficult for the region to pull together two Super League teams, the predictable result was a relegation in the Ugra-Samotlor class. Surgutyans, having an extra-budgetary source of funding, retained Ugra's place in the elite division and assumed the role of the flagship of regional volleyball. Nizhnevartovsk residents will focus on preparing a high-quality reserve, will become a support for neighbors, that, in turn, will always be able to lend a shoulder to their colleagues.
The transition of the two Ugra teams from competition to cooperation has long been brewing in the logic of building a coherent structure for the regional development of volleyball, this decision is in the interests of all parties. hope, that volleyball in Ugra will receive a new impetus for development and the results of both teams will delight the fans!
