Futnet makes it to Iraq
We are always very pleased about contacts with new countries that are discovering futnet and would like to promote it also in an official way. One of such countries in recent months is Iraq.
There has been an active correspondence with their representatives, Iraq Futnet Association has been established and their General Secretary Asad Ali Atie has made two visits to the Czech Republic to meet the officials of UNIF and of the Czech Futnet Association. Most recently he attended UNIF Club World Cup in Karlovy Vary on 10 June where met with UNIF President Kamil Klenik (first picture) and discussed further development of futnet in Iraq. Before he also met a member of Czech Futnet Association Jiri Doubrava (second picture).
