How the Cooperation Between a Pipe Welding Company and a Soccer Team Started
Three years ago, by chance, I bumped into my buddy Anton Mashenistov at the ice rink. Now, Anton has been the captain of the FC NPN Silmet soccer team in my hometown of Sillamäe for a few years already. During our chat, he told me about his plans for the 2021 season to bring in new players for his futsal team, and he was confident they could win the Estonian Cup.
Believing in yourself and working hard really pays off.
I wanted to help out our team, so Pipeweld.ee stepped up as a sponsor. The 2021 season turned out to be pretty active, with lots of new young talent joining from the city.
By 2022, these young players were already showing great results, and the team started closing in on the playoffs.
In 2023, they grabbed second place in the cup, which attracted a lot of interest from bigger sponsors.
In 2024, with just one foreign player, the team swept all the futsal cups and got a shot at playing in the UEFA Champions League.
- Estonian Championship 23/24 GOLD
- Estonian Cup 23/24 GOLD
- Super Cup 23/24 GOLD
Big congrats to the team, you guys are awesome, and it’s only up from here!
