A must see match! A village from our 5th league against a country that will play in the World Cup in Qatar. With such a headline, for example, the server šport.sk presents information that is hard to believe.
However, it is meant quite seriously. TJ Partizán Domaniža football players announced on their Facebook page that they will play in Vienna on Saturday, August 27 at 17:00 against Qatar, the host and participant of the upcoming World Cup.
“We still can’t believe it. But the contract is already signed. First of all, it will be a great experience,” says Milan Svoboda, coach and chairman of TJ Partizán Domaniža.
That you’ve never heard of his club? No wonder… After all, the team from Horní Považ, a village with a little more than 1,600 inhabitants, will compete against a participant in the world championship. The Partisans are a participant in the fifth league Northwest, so far in the new season they have managed two winning matches and are third in the table by the score.
In any case, a friendly match with the host of the World Cup is a hussar piece. The Qatar national team is in Austria for a training session. He will play a preparatory tournament in Vienna, the other participants of which are Ghana, Morocco (other World Cup participants) and Jamaica.
