My name is Eldar Meykhanimov. I'm seventeen years old and I'm studying at 10th grade in Sadakhlo village school. With the help of God if I would enter to university, I would like to be a computer programmer.
I have a dream. It is just a dream. I would like to be a footballer. I'm playing as a goalkeeper and sometimes as a defender at the team of our village. The story which I want to talk is about our Sadakhlo Village Fotball Team.
How Sadakhlo Football Team was founded?
Three years ago we decided to set up football team of our village. Nowadays we are 13 players. But in summer this number might even reach to 20. The age of players differentiates between 13 and 17.
Indeed we have a huge stadium, but our supporters are mainly small kids and animals of our village.Every year we buy a new ball, but it tears very soon. On this September, elder villagers cleared stadium from thistle bushes with tractor. Now we can play football much more comfortably. Whenever we see that thistle bushes want to grow, we deliberately are playing at that part of stadium in order to prevent their growing.
As a team we have important victories. The most memorable victory was against the Egneti village of Gori. At decisive game we won them with 5-3 and got the cup. These pictures are taken after our victory over Ergneti.

Sadakhlo - The Village Our Team was Founded
Now I want to talk about a little bit our beautiful village Sadakhlo, where our football team was founded. Sadakhlo is the biggest village in Georgia, more that 18.000 people are living here. Our village is rich in every aspect: we have forests, fruit gardens, farms, big houses, markets. All roads are asphalted.
Sadakhlo is near to Armenian border. All people here are Azerbaijanis, but a few Armenian people are also living here. Some Armenians are coming to our village to buy some vegetables and products. We have good connections.
Sadakhlo's youngsters mainly are working as a car repairer and waitress. In their free time, they are either playing football, or spending time at chaykhana. And girls are helping to their mothers at home. Nowadays we are not gathering with girls, because now we are grown up.
There are 2 public schools in Sadakhlo. This is the number one school. Our director is Sayyad Khalilov. 600 pupils are studying here and 72 teachers are working. All our footballer ares studying are studying here.
We wish to have more advanced football stadium and also wish to have more smart people in our village who are able to develop us and to take us for the better future. We surely want to be well-known for our good intentions and abilities. Our team has official Instagram account, more than 1000 people are following us, if you wish you can follow us: @fksadakhlo
