Andrey Vatutin, CSKA President:
We are glad that the process of obtaining the Russian citizenship by Joel is over, now he will be able to play for the club and Russian National Team which is important because we have a deficit of quality big men in the country. I would like to thank everyone who took part in Bolomboy’s fate – the nation’s leaders, Pavel Kolobkov, the Minister of Sports, Andrey Kirilenko, the Russian Basketball Federation President, everyone involed in the process.
Joel Bolomboy, CSKA center:
I am really excited to obtain Russian citizenship and proud to become apart of a great country where my family is from. I want to thank the club’s president Andrey Vatutin and everyone else that played a role in making this happen. I will do my very best to represent Russia and CSKA in the best way possible.
