At the end of May, the capital became the center of sports battles: young football players aged 8 to 12 years old were finding out whose team deserves to be considered the best in Dushanbe. Hundreds of boys who are passionate about sports took part in the exciting matches of the tournament "MegaFon Life in Football Style", organized by MegaFon Tajikistan in cooperation with the Children's and Youth Football League of Tajikistan.
The large-scale children's tournament is held in all major cities of the country. In Dushanbe alone, it brought together 30 teams. Everyone had the right to participate: students from comprehensive schools, pupils from sports sections, even friends from the yard who like to kick a ball around together. Only this time, everything was serious: an excellent field, professional refereeing and full stands of spectators. How could you not feel like a real football star!


"It's incredible! When I scored a goal and they started clapping, I almost cried with happiness. Now I understand what real football is. I will train to play even better!" – shared his emotions twelve-year-old tournament participant Azamat. "We have been supporting children's football for many years, but for the first time, everyone could participate in the tournament. For many boys, this is an incentive to develop and improve their football technique. I personally followed the matches from the stands and I can assure you: if a child has talent, it is immediately visible. And we have many such children. We will be happy if they seriously engage in sports and eventually become the pride of Tajik football," says Daler Naimov, Director of the Regional Office for Dushanbe and RRP of MegaFon Tajikistan.
The performance of the Dushanbe teams was also appreciated by the director of the Children's and Youth Football League of Tajikistan, Abdullo Sokiyev. "MegaFon Tajikistan is doing a great job, opening up the opportunity for children to prove themselves at a new, higher level. Once again, I was convinced how fruitful cooperation is with responsible companies that help develop children's football in the country. I am sure that the tournament will inspire the children to new achievements and victories!" he noted.

Participants and guests of the tournament could experience not only football emotions. In a special zone of the company "MegaFon Tajikistan" for young athletes and fans, games and competitions with pleasant prizes from 1,000 MB of Internet traffic to status "gold" numbers were prepared. Here, the company's employees also talked about the mobile application "MegaFon Life", which helps to solve many daily tasks. For example, you can order groceries and buy movie tickets.
The dates of the tournament are timed to coincide with World Football Day, declared by the UN General Assembly on the initiative of the President of the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA), President of the Football Federation of Tajikistan Rustam Emomali.
The partner of the matches in the Republic of Tajikistan is CJSC "Yakhmosi 33". On the final day of the games in Khatlon, the company prepared a sweet surprise for young athletes and guests of the tournament – delicious ice cream. This gift really pleased the children and added even more warmth and summer mood to the tournament. We expect new victories and bright moments at the next matches of the tournament "MegaFon Life in Football Style", which will be held in the Sughd region and GBAO!
