Among his awards are the “Best Footballer of the USSR” prize, the Badge and Order of Honor, the Order of Friendship of Peoples, the RFU “Football Legend” award and many others, and the footballer’s main award was popular love and the title of “favorite footballer.”
Yuri Gavrilov, an equally famous football player, coach, international-class Master of Sports of the USSR and Honored Master of Sports of Russia, who was personally acquainted with Fedor Cherenkov, was invited as an honorary guest.
The most striking game in this match by the football team of JSC "Mosmetrostroy" was in the final with the Russian national beach soccer team.
