Kirov's Dynamo played its first match

      As part of the preseason training camp in Adler, Kirov's Dynamo played a friendly match. The opponent was Volgar from Astrakhan. In the starting lineup published on the team's VK page, only the surnames of eight players were listed. Three were marked "on trial", apparently so as not to expose potential newcomers and avoid attracting the attention of rivals. The match ended 3–1 in Dynamo's favor. Meanwhile, 21-year-old forward Daniil Maltsev signed a contract with the team. He began playing football at our DYuSSh-5 youth sports school and later went to the well-known Konoplyov Academy in the Samara region.
