«Dad, Mom, me — football family» football festival is selecting the last contenders of the national final.

In August ABFF's biggest grassroots project reached Pinsk and Mogilev were final qualifying phases were held. The final tournament is scheduled for September 14th and on the verge of summer's last month around 80 families contested for places at the gala-festival in the capital.

Childrene in four different age categories with their parents competed for four hours at «Volna» stadium in Pinsk. It is clear that playing football in such a rythm is challenging which meant that the 140 participants of the qualifying phase required pauses. During the breaks guests of the festival were entertained by active contests: someone was invited for a ball race, others ere offered the opportunity to show their juggling skills, while those who prefered less active contests took part in intellectual tests in football history.

At the end of the competition the top three families in Pinsk included: Supruniuk family (third place), Bogdanov family (second place), Andreev family (winner).

In Mogilev the podium ended up in the following order: Karasev family (third place), Ivanov family (second place), Soldatenko family (winner)!

ABFF congratulates the winners of the regional festivals. We are waiting for you in Minsk for the final on September 14th!
