FC Chernomorets team visited Delo Group terminals in Novorossiysk

Soccer players, coaching staff and management of FC Chernomorets attended DeloPorts terminals (a stevedoring holding of Delo Group, managing assets in Novorossiysk).

During the breaks between matches of the Football National League the athletes visited the grain and container terminals, as well as the tugboats of the Delo Group's service company.

The company's employees briefed the athletes on the history of the Group's establishment, the specifics of operations and implementation of DeloPorts' investment projects. The footballers observed the loading processes at the berths, the work of heavy machinery and tugboats.

"The visit of the Chernomorets football club to our terminals proves the interconnection between sports and business, when teamwork and striving for new heights stand in the first place. I expect that the example of the port workers will inspire the athletes to new accomplishments both on and off the pitch,” said Igor Yakovenko, General Director of DeloPorts.

"Above all, we are grateful for the unique opportunity to dive into the work environment at the port. The visit to DeloPorts' terminals provided a glimpse of the impressive scale of the company, and allowed us to greatly appreciate the interaction and coherence of the employees at the berths. I believe that our athletes used this visit as an opportunity both to learn new things and also to appreciate the volume and efforts of investors in our work”, - said Maxim Ponomarev, General Director of Chernomorets Football Club.

FC Chernomorets was founded in 1907 under the name Olimpia. From 1992 to 2001, Chernomorets played in the Premier League. The sixth place in the 2000 season allowed the club to compete in the UEFA Cup of 2001/02. In 2002, Chernomorets was relegated and returned a year later. The 2003 season was the last for the club in the Russian elite. Since 2012, the team has been playing in Group 1 of the Professional Football League (PFL) Championship. In 2022, Delo Group became a sponsor of Chernomorets, and in 2023 the team returned to the First League. < Back to list
