These aren`t just competitors; they are perennial challengers, whose clashes often define the championship narrative.

A Path Paved with Dominance
CSKA`s journey to the final was marked by a series of commanding performances that left little doubt about their intentions. Their early matches showcased a team operating at peak efficiency, dispatching opponents with clinical precision.

These results are not mere statistics; they are a clear indication of a well-oiled machine, meticulously coached and executed by a squad brimming with talent. Each player understands their role, contributing to a collective effort that often seems unstoppable.
The Broader Landscape of Russian Women`s Rugby-7
While CSKA and VVA-Podmoskovye frequently capture the spotlight, the Magnet Russian Rugby-7 Championship is far from a two-team race.

The redistribution into groups for the third stage, with teams like Kuban, Enisey-STM, Rostov-DSTU, Argat, Vityaz, and Krasny Yar, speaks to the depth and evolving structure of the league.
