The mini-football competition among the nuclear industry employees has its own history and was initiated by the Russian sports society – “Atom Sport”.

For the first time, the Kazakh team participated in the competition in 2007 and straight away became the bronze winner. In 2008, in Ajaccio (Corsica, France) our team won silver. The best results belong to the Russian teams – they are four times champions, and once the Ukrainian became winners.  

 

Such competitions always bring in special atmosphere. On the one hand, it is a tough, uncompromising contest on the field and striving for victory, on the other – hearty companionship between people from many countries, sport-associated.
