The former English "Reading" owner will buy the "Van" of Charentsavan.

Russian businessman Anton Zingarevich, who owned English "Reading," will become the new owner of "Van" of Charentsavan, representing the Premier League of Armenia.

As it became known, the control package of the shares of the Armenian club Sportball24.com. will pass to the Russian businessman when the data is registered in the commercial register. At the moment, the negotiations are in the final stage.

Anton Zingarevich is the former owner of English "Reading." He acquired a controlling stake in the club in 2012 but sold it two years later and left the board of directors. In 2021, the businessman received the Bulgarian "Botev." The Russian oligarch is also connected with the Danish football clubs "Fremad Amager" and "Vista" of Gelendzhik, with which "Van" recently played a friendly match (1:1) on September 4 in Charentsavan.

Van is expected to become a haven for young footballers arriving from Vista.
