The opinion about the tournament expressed by people who were responsible for its organization and functioning:

N.A. Leonyk, Dean, Social Pedagogics Department: ”I am really excited that our students are among the winners. Sport plays a very important role in the life of the young. It provides a solid foundation for a sound and healthy way of life.”

K.I. Belyi, Head of the chair, Sports events: “In accordance with the basic guidelines of the chair activities in organizing work with sport teams on game sports the maximum effort  is being made to stir up such sport events, Pitifully the insufficient financing provides our students with a rare chance to take part in official competitions and , consequently, the mini-football team failed in regional and city competitions, was barred from such prestigious regional contests as Elite League and Premier League. The University mini-football team league compensates to some extent the lack of practical experience.”

The championship 2014/2015 is over. It has brought many unforgettable positive emotions. The participants of the tournament will look forward to the next autumn start.
