Anzhi FC fans call on fans of Lokomotiv FC to support them at Europa League match

Next week the football matches of the qualifying round of the Europa League will take place. Due to the fact that UEFA did not permit matches being held in Makhachkala, Anji will play its home match against AZ (Netherlands) in Moscow, at the stadium of Lokomotiv in Cherkizovo. The fan club of Anzhi, "The Wild Division", called on the fans of the host club.

"Dear Fans of FC Lokomotiv! We all know that you know how to support your club loudly and in unison. Unfortunately, this season, Lokomotiv is not participating in international competitions. But despite this, the stadium in Cherkizovo will not miss the chance of winning the UEFA cup," the statement posted on the fans' website says.

"In this regard, we invite all fans and admirers of Lokomotiv to come to their home stadium at 20:00 on August 23 and to support the Russian football club Anzhi in the match against the Dutch.

We will show Europe that Russian people can be united! Wishing you participation in European Cups and victories in the international arena, fans of Anzhi FC," the Dagestani club's fans write in their address.
