Our head coach is invited to take part in the All-Star Game

Andrey Vladimirovich Vedishchev will coach the "Hosts" team at the 2025 All-Star Game arranged by the VTB United League.

The VTB United League has completed the formation of the rosters for the 2025 All-Star Game, which will take place on February 16 at Moscow’s VTB Arena.

Three years later, the league returned to the “Hosts” vs. “Guests” match format (Russian players against legionnaires). The “Hosts” game will be led by Andrey Vedishchev, head coach and president of Lokomotiv Kuban PBC. As explained in the league, Vedishchev was invited because among Russian coaches, his team is currently the highest ranked.

Andreas Pistiolis from CSKA will lead the “Guests” team according to the same principle.

It's a great honor to be chosen as a coach for the All-Star Game. The score is 3-3 in the Home-Away match. So, our goal is to take the lead. I will set our team up not just for a win, but for a beautiful win. The opponent is tough, but it will be even more honorable to beat them. I'm looking forward to meeting my All-Star team. I'm sure that this game will bring new and interesting experience. See you at the All-Star Weekend! A bright and unforgettable show awaits us all!
