Karachaevo-Circassia will be presented by the younger group (10-12 years) combined team of the football club "АРР" of Habezsky area in the zone ending on "Leather Ball" prize, IА REGNUM correspondent reported. The team went to Yeysk town of Krasnodar Region where the final round of the competitions from June, 26th till July, 1st took place.
"Habezsky area for three years, since 2005 wins the first place on sports parameters among areas of Karachaevo-Circassia", - the assistant to the head of Habezsky area municipal administration Nazir Kemov told IА REGNUM correspondent. – Our special pride is our football success. In 2006 the group (13-14 years) club "АРР" won the second place of the Russian Championship. Certainly, now we have quite good chances, but there is one problem - some teams intentionally underestimate the age of the sportsmen, as we are very strict in it". The opportunity to pay for and train teams and to take part in the competitions of such rank only on budgetary funds would be improbable. On sports development as a whole Habezsky area receives only 100 000 rubles a year. Keeping of the high sports level among the youth becomes possible owing to participation of the private sponsors, as to football club "АРР" the main role was played by the financial support rendered by businessman Rauf Arashukov, - Kemov noted.
