About the Lives of Lions in Estonia

The idea to restore the former reputation behing Estonian football came as a response to the public opinion of a well-known athlete that Estonian boys are not talented enough to play football and they have no necessary prerequisites in this field. Boys from elementary school made the youth team called "The Lions" and coach Roman Ubakivi started to work with them in 1978 in order to prepare them for creating a national football team.
