At “KAMAZ” the best volleyball team was determined. The championship, organized by the company trade union committee, took place within the framework of the 2026 Spartakiad.
A total of 15 teams participated in the game, representing the main factories and divisions of the automotive giant, as well as subsidiary companies. The competitions were held in the sports hall of the V.D. Potashov Technical College. The tournament was dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the trade union organization of PJSC “KAMAZ”, the 400th anniversary of the founding of Naberezhnye Chelny, and the 35th anniversary of the ASM trade union.
Throughout all the games, participants were actively supported by fans: department heads, professional leaders, colleagues, and family members. In the end, the teams of the engine plant and the automobile plant clashed for the bronze medals. In a fierce battle, the automobile plant took third place. The decisive match for first place was held between the teams of JSC “RD” and LLC “CHELNYVODOKANAL.” The opponents had met more than once in the fight for leadership—they also competed for top-level medals last year. The game turned out to be tense and spectacular. Ultimately, first place was once again claimed by the team of LLC “CHELNYVODOKANAL,” while second place went to the team of JSC “RD.”
“Thanks to the opponents for a great game. Last year, we also played for third place against the engine factory, and back then we lost. This time we took revenge. I have personally participated in factory competitions since 2008. The team competed with a renewed lineup, and everything worked out.”, – commentedRepresentative of the automobile factory, shift supervisor Egor Maksimov.
“We’ve been playing for a long time now, about seven or eight years. In our collection, there were first, second, and third places. Now the team is new, but the mood is always only to win”, – sharedFitter for engine assembly works Alexey Mudryakov.
“The volleyball tournament demonstrated a high level of Kamaz athletes. All teams approached the tournament with full seriousness: there were many bright moments, tactical moves and real team volleyball. Separate words of gratitude go to the engine plant for an excellent game, JSC “RD” – for team cohesion, and “CHELYABVODOKANAL” – for a consistently high level of performance. Such a level of play speaks about the development of corporate volleyball and the involvement of employees in sports initiatives.”, – summed upCompetition judge Timofey Ivashchenko.
The championship concluded with an awards ceremony. Ildar Shamilov, Chairman of the trade union organization “KAMAZ,” thanked the participants for the bright finale and for ensuring that sport remains an important part of life. The winners and prize-winners were presented with cups, medals, and diplomas.
The events of the sports calendar of “KAMAZ” continue. On Sunday, April 5, at the “Zarya” sports complex, the table tennis championship will take place.
