On June 19, a friendly Made in Russia badminton competition was successfully held with the participation of business representatives and professional athletes. The event was organized by Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF Group) together with the National Badminton Federation of Russia as part of the sports program of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The competition is held on the territory of the Territory of Sport complex in St. Petersburg.
The international Russia-Indonesia match was opened by Petr Zaselsky, Chairman of the Board of EKSIMBANK OF RUSSIA (REC Group), Andrey Antropov, President of the National Badminton Federation of Russia, Taufik Hidayat, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia, Olympic badminton champion, and Mohammad Fadil Imran, Chairman of the Indonesian Badminton Association, General Commissioner, Head of the National Police Security Agency.
14 athletes, divided into "professional + amateur" pairs, took part in the friendly match. The games were played in a round-robin system in a simplified format – each match lasted 15 minutes. Participants were Dmitry Klimenko, a professional player of the Russian national badminton team, Petr Zaselsky, Chairman of the Board of EKSIMBANK, Dmitry Sychev, a Russian football star, as well as Indonesian athletes Raymond Indra and Yohanes Saut Marcellino.

"Sport is one of Russia's key competitive advantages, recognized and loved worldwide. It is noteworthy that the principles of sport and export are largely similar: in global competition, success accompanies the strongest. We are convinced that combining efforts in promoting Russian products, the Made in Russia national brand, and such significant components of the country's image as sport, culture, and art, will create a powerful synergistic effect. This will not only increase the recognition of Russian goods and brands abroad but also become a solid foundation for the development of international partnerships," Petr Zaselsky, Chairman of the Board of EKSIMBANK OF RUSSIA (REC Group).
