State ATM Corporation Team becomes fivefold champion of ATCOs & Pilots World Football Cup

14 November, the fifth World Controllers Football Cup among ATCOs and pilots finished in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The select team of the State ATM Corporation became fivefold champion.

During the group stage our team played 5 games winning 4 of them and tying the game with the European select team. The scores were: Trinidad and Tobago (7:0), Chili (4:0), Mexico (2:0) and Columbia (5:0). In semi-finals, the Russian controllers’ team won over their US counterparts scoring 2:0.

In the final, the Russian team played with International (select team of the world). A tough struggle resulted in our team winning with the score 1:0 owing to the goal scored by the team’s best finisher Nikita Ankilov who scored the total of 5 goals during the tournament.

Special credit should be given to our goalkeepers and defenders who kept our net clean throughout the championship.

Congratulations to our penta-champions!
