02/11/2009 - In the eve of the start of the knock out stage of the ETTU Cup and duel against Cestas, Russia's Horizont 2012 withdraws from the further competition. The reason is visa problem.
"It is with deep regret that I must inform you of Horizont 2012 withdrawal from the 3rd round of the ETTU Cup. As you are aware, we have no chances to make visas for WANG Yang and KIM Nam Chol to Europe, due to long procedure of receiving the work permit in Russia.
Our players need this document to obtain visa to Europe in Ekaterinburg. Please accept my clubs sincere apologies in regards to this very difficult situation that is out of the club control!"
