"Soup" absorbed football "Championship. Ru"
Representatives of the company "Soup" confirmed the purchase of the site "Championat.Ru . " The deal with the project owners Dmitry Sergeyev and Pavel Golovin was successfully completed. According to information sources, the company paid $ 200 thousand for 100% of Champion.ru.
“The acquisition of Championship.Ru is the first stage in creating a pool of high-quality and popular content projects for the development of our social network. The project was chosen on the basis of the dynamics of its development and great potential, ”said Ivan Zassoursky, marketing director for the Sup company.
New purchase gives reason to rethink ideas about the purpose of the company. Previously, in the minds of Internet users, she was associated mainly with blogs, in particular, with LiveJournal . After concluding a deal with the owners of Livejournal.com by Six Apart and buying the Russian service Ljplus, it strengthened its position in this direction.

How the "Championship" will get along in one basket with them is not yet clear. It is possible that in the future all these projects (as well as new acquisitions) will be connected into a single social network of a new generation, which representatives of “Soup” have repeatedly stated. As for the nearest plans - the expansion of sports subjects and the consistent opening of new directions (hockey, Formula 1, tennis, basketball, boxing and other sports), as well as the connection of new services and the organization of a large sports community.
Despite the sale of the project, Sergeyev and Golovin will not leave it. Dmitry has already become part of the “Supa” team as the head of a sports project, and Pavel will join him in December. “For us,“ Championat.Ru ”and the work on it was far from the main business, but rather a hobby, we did not initially assume the commercial success of our project. Today “Championat.Ru” made a qualitatively new breakthrough: the technical and financial capabilities of the company “Soup” will allow us to seriously compete with the leading Russian sports sites. I note that in order to continue working on the project, I had to abandon the main business, ”says Dmitry Sergeyev.
Championat.ru is a site about Russian and European football. The monthly audience reach reaches 500 thousand unique users. The project was created on March 11, 2005. In February 2006, “Championat.ru” merged with the football news portal Fnews.ru .
