Liverpool in Kazan: InstaForex clients enjoyed Europa League match

An ordinary day in Kazan, November 5, was marked by an outstanding event for football fans. That day, the Europa League game between Rubin Kazan and Liverpool FC was played at the Kazan Arena stadium. The UK team arrived in Russia headed by new manager Jurgen Klopp. Of course, we could not miss such an event and decided to make a surprise for our largest clients in Tatarstan's capital and nearby cities inviting them to a buffet in our Kazan office. But the biggest surprise was the meeting with Liverpool FC ambassadors Ben Latty and Mark Rollins.

Then, the guests were driven to the game. After the 1*1 tie in Liverpool, the teams were focused on a victory. The match was intense. InstaForex clients and representatives as well as the company's UK partners were watching the game keenly, cheering their favorites.

Despite the brilliant performance of the goalkeeper, Rubin Kazan lost 0*1 to Liverpool. The Reds arrived in Kazan and showed that the tie at Anfield was just a coincidence. Liverpool played an amazing game and probably due to pouring rain failed to score more goals. Still, UK fans were happy with the result and InstaForex clients received unforgettable impressions on the superb game and wonderful evening.
