Sports
The first football club was organized at Peshelansky Gypsum Works in the 1960s.
In the 1970s, sports activities at the Company were revitalized by Feodor Nikolayevich Vaganov, a former player of its football team, who rejoined the Company after doing his military service. He became the teams chief coach with A. N. Filatov helping him. With time, the teams performance improved to qualify for the districts level.
In 2002, the Companys football team took part in the Nizhniy Novgorod regional football championship (Division II), winning the 6th place.
In the same year, at the initiative of Viktor S. Lavrov, Chairman of the Board of Founders Décor-1 Peshelansky Gypsum Works LLC, the Company within a record time-period built and commissioned its own football stadium. Further development of our football club, which was named Shaktior, was made possible by the support of Décor-1 PGW LLC management and V. S. Lavrov in particular.
A. Plaksin became the teams field coach.
