When Mongolia's U-17 women’s national team entertained Hong Kong at home in a friendly international last Thursday, the hosts knew the game would go down in the nation’s football history. It was the first-ever international match in their newly-constructed Air Dome (https:\/\/apo-opa.info\/3UwjAVA<\/a>).<\/p>\n

With the wind whistling and land covered in snow, the cold weather of early April is not usually a time conducive for football in Mongolia. However, with the recent completion of the FIFA-funded Air Dome and its huge structure providing cover, the players could play on the football turf at the National Team Training Center (NTTC).<\/p>\n

“This game [against Hong Kong] was the first international match in the Air Dome,” an excited Mr.Terbaatar Dambiijav, General Secretary of Mongolian Football Federation (MFF), told FIFA.com (https:\/\/apo-opa.info\/3UwjAVA<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“The match was very important for our team to prepare for the forthcoming AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup Group B qualifier. “The Air Dome is a successful FIFA Forward project. We would like to express our heart-felt gratitude to FIFA on behalf of the MFF for its consistent support for us. This ensures that football is now available for us across all four seasons.”<\/p>\n
