Rambler Launches Official Site of the Rambler Russian Football Cup

Rambler Media Ltd. (“Rambler”) (LSE:RMG), the company operating one of Russia’s most popular internet brands, and the Title Sponsor of the Russian Football Cup, today announces the launch of the Russian Football Cup’s official website: http://www.rambler-football.ru/. “Rambler Football” is the first internet site to have its content uniquely devoted to the Cup, giving football fans real-time updates, exclusive information and interesting facts from the Cup’s history.

In April 2008, Rambler signed a four-year strategic partnership with the Russian Football Union (RFS) to become the official title sponsor of the Russian Football Cup. The competition, now known as the Rambler Russian Football Cup, is one of Russia’s most popular sporting events. More than 100 teams from all over Russia take part in the annual knock-out competition and as well as playing the Russian Premier League Champions for the Russian Super Cup, the eventual winner will also represent Russia in the UEFA Cup.

The website is expected to attract millions of users across Russia by allowing fans to experience the Rambler Russian Football Cup matches online in a totally new way. The site provides a unique and innovative place for fans, players and football experts alike, to watch, celebrate and discuss Russian football. As well as having a strong interactive component, which will allow fans to compete for prizes by predicting scores, the site also contains a fixtures list, live scores, results, access to exclusive photos, audio and video content and interviews with players and coaches.

Arkady Moreynis, Rambler’s Chief Product Officer, commented: “We are proud to launch the official website of the Rambler Russian Football Cup, which reflects our vision to become an open gateway and a favourite web destination for the Russian speaking community. Through its size, the number of teams taking part, the number of matches played and its geographic reach, the tournament inspires real passion and captures the imagination of all football supporters across Russia. By creating a dedicated website, we aim to bring millions of fans together to enjoy football with as much passion as they would do in a football stadium or in front of the TV. This sponsorship is just one of Rambler’s numerous initiatives to support the development of sporting activities in Russia.”
