Impressive Football by Minsk FC

This morning one would have been able to watch a very well-played match between Minsk FC from Belarus and Korsvoll IL from Norway in class G13. The skilled players from Minsk FC deservedly won the game 6-0.

‘Countrywide there are approx. 50 teams. We are the leading team in Belarus. In fact, we are almost a kind of national team in our age class. This also explains why there is so much difference between us and our opponents in the group stage. Later in the tournament it will be a completely different case,’ explains coach Andréi Makhnach after the impressive match.

This is the second time FC Minsk participates in the Dana Cup. They are happy to have the opportunity to test their abilities against international opponents.

‘At international level, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are leaders in women's football. The difference is that there are many thousands of players in the Nordic countries while we only have FC Minsk. So I get players from all over the country. While in Norway there are maybe 500 players aged 15 to 16 years, we have less,’ coach Andréi Makhnach adds.

In addition, coach Andréi Makhnach underlines that ‘it is a pleasure to be here since the tournament is well-organised and people are smiling.’
