The president of The Federation
Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), Joseph S. Blatter, and
AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam spent much of the final week of September
in Mongolia.
The soccer officials held meetings
with Mongolian Prime Minister Miyegombo Enkhbold, and President Nambar
Enkhbayar, who decorated the FIFA and AFC Presidents.
The main purpose of the visit
was the inauguration of the second Mongolian Goal project: the new Association
headquarters built into a stand with 1,500 seats. Together with the
artificial pitch that was the object of the first Goal project in Mongolia,
the stand forms a mini-stadium where future domestic and international
matches are to be held.
The soccer association presidents
were also hosted to a traditional Naadam Festival, featuring local sporting
activities such as wrestling, archery and horse-riding as well as Mongolian
folk music and songs.
