The tournament was formed and named in honor of former Soviet/Russian national football team goalkeeper, Lev Yashin by Dynamo Moscow, the club with which he spent his entire career. Naming rights for the tournament were bought by VTB Bank. “Russia is preparing for the World Cup 2018. That’s why we decided to make an emphasis on young players who I hope will participate in this great event”, said Vasily Titov, chairman of Dynamo Moscow, while explaining the change in the tournament format since its inception in 2008.[2]
