altAt the competition entitled "Mundialito", in which representatives of states whose national teams will participate in the FIFA World Cup in Russia, played mini football on grass, the Serbian team took third place. "Mondialito" was held in Helsinki, 9 June, in honour of the incoming Football World Cup.

The team, organized and put together by Serbia's Ambassador Sasa Obradovic, within the small Serbian community in Finland, was the tallest at the tournament, just like the one playing in Russia. It beat the teams of Colombia, Portugal and the world refugee team, and lost to Russia. Two goals for Serbs were scored by Dmitriy Chujkov, a Consul of the Belarus Embassy, who volunteered to play for Serbia.

The most senior player on the Serbian team was the Ambassador (50), who assisted in scoring one goal in the semi-final against Russia, while the youngest player was his son Djordje Obradovic (20), who scored the winning goal in the game with Portugal.

Our team played in the tournament wearing Serbian Football Association jerseys.
