Recently, Kazan hosted the second ice hockey tournament among Islamic countries TATNEFT ADIHIC Cup. The work of our Organization does not stop for a day in May, so a couple of days after the Cup we received a large ice hockey delegation in Almetyevsk. Hockey players from Iran and Saudi Arabia came to the training camp in the training facility.

As we wrote earlier, in Almetyevsk, on the basis of our hockey academy, there are all the necessary conditions for training and comfortable living: a modern hotel, halal food, two ice rinks, several gyms, a throwing zone and much more. The city itself, according to our guests, is very comfortable and cozy.

The girls from Iran and Saudi Arabia practiced the entire training cycle daily under the guidance of experienced coaches from the Ak Bars Academy, many of whom speak English. Also, the girls visited the iconic places of the city with excursions. For example, museums and the local university.

Maram Aleid, the captain of the Riyadh WIngs team, shared her opinion about the training camp:

“It was very beautiful and hospitable here. We were surrounded by very sensitive people. The coaches followed absolutely every detail that we performed. They always made sure that no one got out of the group. Due to this, we have learned how to do a lot of things correctly. After the training camp, I can say that I’m tired, but it’s a pleasant fatigue”
