Midfielder of ZHFC "Dynamo" Irina Dricheva celebrates her birthday on Thursday.
Irina started her football career in the Far East, and already at the age of 9 she moved to Moscow to study at the Chertanovo Football Academy. Here she managed to play in almost all positions, except for the central defender and goalkeeper, won a huge number of team and personal awards and, finally, in January 2022, became a Dynamo Moscow player.
Dricheva's first season in our team turned out to be very bright: 23 matches in the Youth League, 8 goals and 7 assists! Three times Ira was recognized by Dynamo fans as the best player of the month, two of her goals were the best goals of the month. Together with the team, she won silver medals at the youth championship.
In June 2022, she was invited to the training camp of the Russian national team, during which she took part in a friendly match with ZHFC CSKA (3:1). For the 15-year-old Dricheva, the game was her debut as part of the main team of the country!
Together with the blue and white Irina made her debut in 2023 at the highest level: in the Super League and the Cup of Russia. In total, Dricheva has 49 matches for Dynamo in all tournaments, 13 goals and 11 assists.
We congratulate Ira on her birthday and wish her to return to her favorite game as soon as possible and again delight Dynamo fans with her incredible talent!
