Go to the exhibition at the Lumiere Brothers Center. Lumière Brothers

While all over Russia were preparing for the big soccer game and the arrival of foreign guests, photographer Sergei Novikov decided to find out how grassroots soccer is doing in our country. Hundreds of non-professional soccer teams participate in the championships of their regions, republics and oblasts. Their matches take place in empty stands without camera flashes and do not attract sponsors.

The exhibition consists of photographs of soccer fields scattered around the country, group shots of nonprofessional soccer teams from a variety of regions, and a Bay Area Web doc compiled from videos of grassroots soccer games found online. This weekend is the last weekend for the exhibition. There is a 50% discount for students with an ISIC card.
