- I am pleased to say that this has already become a tradition within the Public Institution Center for Sport and Recreation. A whole series of sports activities take place here, including this football tournament which has been organized since 2003. Children gather, socialize, and through sports, they learn teamwork towards results, and I believe that besides the sports results, we are providing the children with something more. I believe that we will welcome many more generations here in our space in such a beautiful atmosphere and that we will gladly watch the children achieve results, Polić stated.

Deputy Chairman Kovačević said that it was a special honor for him to present medals to the best teams and individuals of the elementary school football tournament on the occasion of the Day of the Municipality of Centar.

- When you see the football skills of our elementary school students, it is quite clear that this sport has a bright future in our country and that it is no wonder that Bosnia and Herzegovina is the best-ranked national team on the FIFA rankings, compared to all other countries in the region. I congratulate the winners of the tournament who come from Primary School "Nafija Sarajlić", who have been winning this tournament for several years in a row, Kovačević emphasized.
