Teenagers – amateurs of the football movement, attend the Metalurg Children Cup football tournament. Here they can show themselves, feel the field and become participants in a large-scale competition. Thanks to this, their passion can develop into professional sports and become the beginning of a successful football career. We are very pleased that the directors of most schools responded to our initiative. In general, we covered about 80% of educational institutions, which suggests that our youth is very active.
