But the kids showed real perseverance, good basketball and love for their country in the match against Slovakia, winning a deserved victory.
I congratulate all members of our team. This is a very big and historic victory for our team. I hope that in the next games, we will also try to delight our fans with good results," Anar Sariev said.

Our team will face Ireland in the next match. The meeting will be held on July 14 at the "GOPASS Arena" in Bratislava.
