On March 25, students from the State University of Management took a tour of Lukoil Arena, the home stadium of the Spartak Moscow team.

First-year students majoring in "Sports and Fitness Industry Management" at the Institute of Human Resources, Social, and Business Communications learned about the media center and press box, from which journalists cover matches, and assessed the size of the VIP boxes and hospitality areas designed to accommodate distinguished guests.

The tour was part of the educational process, with the goal of immersing future specialists in the infrastructure of a modern sports facility and studying its internal operating features.

The future managers were particularly interested in the tour of the stadium's "holy of holies": the team locker rooms and the mixed zone, where post-match interviews with players take place. Finally, the students walked through the players' tunnel to the side of the pitch, and also visited the coaches' benches and the bench.

An important part of the tour was learning about the club's history. Participants visited monuments to the club's legendary founders—the Starostin brothers and the great footballer Fyodor Cherenkov, whose names are inextricably linked with Spartak's history. The tour concluded with a visit to the Hall of Fame, the club's interactive museum. This hall, housing all of the team's most treasured possessions and trophies, left the students particularly impressed, clearly demonstrating the connection between sporting achievements and sound management and the brand's heritage.

"I express my sincere gratitude to the organizers for the opportunity to attend this excursion! I would like to highlight the impeccable organization and the rich and engaging program. Events like these leave behind more than just photos, but inspiration and memories that will last a lifetime," shared Polina Zhidkova, a student at the State University of Management.

The event was organized as part of a cooperation agreement between the State University of Management and the Spartak Moscow Football Club, providing students with a unique opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice and gain valuable experience in sports infrastructure management.
