A sports show full of elegance, style and competitive spirit took place on the eve of the International Women's Day at the Moldovan Football Federation (MFF) arena in the La Izvor Park.

The Moldindconbank women's team competed against the celebrity team in a friendly football match organized by Moldindconbank in partnership with UN Women and MFF.

Some players took to the field for the first time after just a few training sessions, but they have already fallen in love with football. Among them is the blogger Doina Stratan, the captain of the team. ”It's my first experience in football, but I hope it won't be my last”, she said.

And for the TV presenter Vera Terentiev, football is already a part of life. „This experience has awakened our appetite for football, for team play. We each do sports - at the gym, but the initiative of the Moldindconbank and the other organizers is very good because we can make a group, come for the weekend and play”, said the star.

„Football doesn't make a gender difference, it's for everyone. I want to encourage girls, women to play this sport”, came a message from the president of the Women's Football League, Diana Bulgaru

The event is part of the Moldindconbank and UN Women campaign to promote gender equality. Women have the ability and desire to assert themselves through sport, which motivates other girls to try their strengths in sports hitherto considered exclusively male.

We decided to celebrate the International Women's Day in a special way and we are very happy to partner with Moldindconbank. We tried to create a challenge to the stereotypes that women cannot do certain things and we succeeded successfully”, said the UN Women representative, Dominika Stojanoska.

„At Moldindconbank we promote women not only professionally, not only at the bank. But, as you can see now, we also offer them conditions for success in sport, we have beautiful, sporty girls, full of the desire to win”, announced the First Deputy Chairperson of Moldindconbank, Tzvetanka Kroumova.

Despite the gloomy weather, the match took place with dozens of spectators in the stands and they applauded the footballers for a beautiful game. At the end, participants from both teams received gifts from Pudra Card partners. These included sports equipment and accessories, beauty sets, massage sessions and other body care procedures, as well as flowers.

Moldindconbank is thankful to Pudra Card partners for their involvement in this beautiful and elegant project: Belar, Aquaterra, iHome, Mostelle, Royal Beauty Club.
