– Our task is to involve children in football classes. This school is designed to instill in the younger generation a love for this wonderful game, to prepare pupils for admission to the Lev Yashin professional academies and the Dynamo Makhachkala Academy. We will try to provide children with high-quality, modern infrastructure for football practice. I wish the football school to continue to write the glorious history of the blue and white with dignity. To the children – sports enthusiasm, new victories, and to the coaches and parents – patience, inspiration and joy from the successes of young athletes. Let this school become the forge of football talents of Dagestan and our pride, – said Sergey Melikov.
