Over the years the organisation seems to have contributed to many causes including in 2o18 when they “…supported the All-Russian Mass Football Day.”
Published on the 29 May 2018 the article covering this ‘good deed’ stated that, “there was a traditional festival named Mass Football Day in Russia which was organised by the Football Union of Russia (FUR) together with the Ministry of sports of the Russian Federation with [the] assistance of Gosloto.”
The lottery organisation claimed that it was the, “third year in a row” that they supported, “the Mass Football Day within the framework of partnership with the Football Union of Russia in developing mass and youth football.”
