Transfer targets8 Mar 2027
Vladislav Kostin will not be coming to Volna
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Sokol is saying, and nobody at Volna is enjoying the guessing.

Kirill Bogdanets in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Volna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Market8 Mar 2027
One of our own: Vladlen Potapov joins the Volna first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vladlen Potapov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Volna promote Kirill Vasilyev from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kirill Vasilyev has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Stepan Zhukov steps up from the Volna academy

One of our own: Gavriil Borodin joins the Volna first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Gavriil Borodin is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

A row about effort at Volna
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alexandr Popovich was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Boardroom8 Mar 2027
$53.7K on the table at Volna
The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.
In brief
- Boardroom Belts tighten at Volna
- The dugout No hiding place for Davit Petrosyan
- Squad Ivan Migunov has had enough of the bench
