SHISP "Kuban" prematurely became the champion of the UFL South U-15

Football players from the boarding school of sports training (SHISP) "Kuban" from the village of Afipsky on September 20 ahead of schedule became the winner of the Youth Football League (SFL) South U-15.

The team secured the first place after an away victory over "Spartak Nalchik" in the match of the 23rd round. The match ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of "Kuban". The winning goal was scored by striker Nikita Gross, who continues to top the list of the tournament's top scorers with 20 goals.

"Dear Afipians! You are beautiful and I congratulate you on your victory, an early victory in the tournament. It's nice that the football traditions of Kuban football are alive and I think that the next step is the Champions League, immediately skipping over all other tournaments. You've been too good this season," said Roman Naguchev, the association's ambassador and commentator, in a video message posted on the UFL Telegram channel.

Three rounds before the end of the championship, the team has 20 wins and remains the only one who has not suffered a single defeat.
