MegaFon Tajikistan announced its support for the Tajikistan U-17 national team's trip to the World Cup in Qatar. This move not only provides young athletes with the opportunity to represent their country on the global football stage but is also part of a larger initiative to develop youth football in the country, culminating in the MegaFon U12 tournament.
MegaFon Tajikistan's support enabled the U-17 national team to travel to a key international tournament. Before their departure, the team's players met with the finalists of the MegaFon U12 tournament, organized by the Children's and Youth Football League of Tajikistan (CYFLT) with the support of MegaFon Tajikistan, inspiring future generations.

"It was great to meet the Tajikistan U-17 national team players. They inspired us to become footballers and play in international tournaments," said Bakhtiyor, one of the tournament participants.
"We are immensely proud to have the opportunity to support our national team and create conditions that inspire young athletes to new achievements. Meeting U-17 players is a powerful incentive for future champions, and it is moments like these that shape the country's sporting future," noted MegaFon Tajikistan CEO Anatoly Izyumnikov.
Abdullo Sokiyev, Director of the Children's and Youth Football League of Tajikistan, emphasized the importance of the partnership: "MegaFon Tajikistan's support makes a huge contribution to the development of children's sports. Initiatives like these help young footballers believe in themselves and dream big, creating the conditions for the development of a new generation of athletes who will represent Tajikistan with dignity on the international stage."
