Therefore, almost a year ago, the administration of Dzerzhinsk and the federation of the Rugby of the Nizhny Novgorod region concluded an agreement on cooperation, and in February of this year we met about the development of rugby with the regional minister of sports. I believe that the creation of a rugby club "Chemist" is a worthy result of our collaboration, which, I hope, will continue to pass as fruitful. "According to the first vice-president of the rugby Federation of the Nizhny Novgorod region Ivan Rumyantsev, currently rugby is one of the promising sports, but in Russia there is still quite weak enough.

In addition, thanks to the creation of a professional rugby team, we will have the opportunity to solve one of the key, at the moment, the problems of this sport is to attract the necessary frames. I am sure that rugby in Dzerzhinsk is a great future, and the new team will adequately be able to represent not only Dzerzhinsk, but also the entire Nizhny Novgorod region at the Russian Championship, "said Ivan Rumyantsev.At the moment there is a complete composition of the future team of the RK "Chemist". It is already known that partially it will consist of athletes entering the Nizhny Novgorod Rugby Club "Admiral". The rugby club team will be based on one of the stadiums of the city and plans to perform in the highest rugby league of Russia, the second largest in the rugby league system, in the season of 2021-2022.
