Interest in the sport is increasing, and new teams are being created. Our goal is to develop minifootball, build new fields, and ensure that more people are involved in minifootball. I congratulate "Zira" on the victory. There was a tense fight on the field today. The current champion's matches with "Birbasha Baku" are very tense. There is great competition between them. "Zira" is also developing," Mammadov said.
