The 2026 offseason for the Dynamo youth team, as has often happened in previous years, was marked by changes. The silver medalists of the Youth League of 2025 tried to keep their fighting backbone, which brought bright and important victories last season, but it was not without losses:
– gone: Sofia Babkina, Anastasia Begeneva, Svetlana Vinnikova, Arina Volobuyeva, Anastasia Linnikova, Anastasia Orlova, Daria Radikova, Alexandra Shevchenko.
Valeria Azeeva, who will spend this season on loan at the Housing and Communal Complex Chertanovo, and Anastasia Shervyanina, who also went on loan to the Housing and Communal Complex Vitebsk (Belarus), also temporarily left the team.
– came: Polina Bocharnikva, Alina Gagieva, Sofia Kolegova, Alisa Klimova, Yana Nesterenko, Ksenia Pilnikova, Eva Rabchenyuk, Sofia Ryazantseva, Nadezhda Sviridova, Tatyana Semenova, Milana Soboleva, Daria Sorokina, Mariana Stepanova, Margarita Surovetskaya, Anastasia Chernikova, Tatyana Chetvertnykh.
Many of the new players of the youth team in previous seasons played for Dynamo teams of different ages – U-16 and U-18, with whom the current coach of the blue and white Oleg Gusev, who himself worked with them earlier, is so familiar.
You can get acquainted with the new faces in our youth team in the "Players" section on the official website of the Dynamo Housing and Communal Services at this link.
The football players announced for the Super League season in the Dynamo main team will continue to play for the youth team of the blue and white: Irina Dricheva, Ekaterina Sergeeva, Arina Taranchenko, Anna Chudilina.
There have been changes in the coaching staff of the blue and white, which is still headed by Oleg Gusev.: Instead of Vitaly Shadrin, who left the club, Andrei Samorukov became the goalkeeper coach at Dynamo U-21. The 55-year-old specialist previously worked with goalkeepers with men's and women's teams at Lokomotiv and CSKA.
The opponent of the blue and white in the first game of the new season – the youth team of the Housing and Communal Complex "Yenisei" – last season played in the division II of the Youth League, where it took 5th place, passing ahead of "Pari NN", "Strogino", "Orenburg" and "Ryazan-Airborne".
The team has also undergone major personnel changes. Last season's leaders Kristina Baksheeva, Olga Banbulenko, Elena Gorshanova, Svetlana Lavrentieva, and Alyona Tatianchenko no longer play for the Krasnoyarsk youth team.
However, the main scorers of the Siberians remained in the team – Anna Shelokhvostova (12 goals in the 2025 season) and Daria Pluzhnik (5 goals). As well as the main players of "Yenisei" throughout the last season – Anna Altukhova, Lidia Voronina, Olesya Voropaeva, Albina Goreva, Anellia Karnaukhova, Maria Kasporyants, Daria Khokhlovskaya.
The coaching staff of Yenisei U-21, headed by Olga Kapustina, who has been leading the Krasnoyarsk youth team since 2023, and has been in the club's system since 2016, remains unchanged.
Here, the 43-year-old Russian football player completed her playing career (in the 2017 season) and began coaching: in 2018-2019 she was an administrator and coach, and in 2019-2022 she held the post of head coach of JFC Yenisei.
Under her leadership, the youth team from Krasnoyarsk performed very well: if in 2023 Krasnoyarsk women took 8th place out of 16 participants in the Youth League, then in 2024 they took 15th place (out of 20 teams), and in 2025 they took only 5th place in division II of the youth championship.
We will find out what the youth team of the Krasnoyarsk Yenisei is now during this season.
The new meeting of the teams from Moscow and Krasnoyarsk within the framework of the Youth League will be served by the judging panel led by Victoria Garina from Khabarovsk, who will be assisted by assistant judges Anna Sycheva (Kirov) and Alyona Lozhkina (Izhevsk).
Previously, Garina did not work at Dynamo matches.
