24-year-old Yekaterinburg woman Maria Panina won the Miss FC Ural beauty contest among football fans. She told Woman’s Day why she loves sports, but is not ready to become the wife of a football player. See beautiful photos of a sports girl with a ball and in a twine!
My grandfather instilled in me a love for football. For a long time, only girls were born in my family, and my grandfather really wanted a boy with whom you can go fishing and watch football. Then he actively took up my upbringing – he taught me to watch football matches, told me how everything was arranged there, what the rules were. But most of all I liked that we were always rooting for the winner. When I grew up, I lived in St. Petersburg for some time and, of course, rooted for the Zenit team. Arriving in Yekaterinburg, I began to root for Ural. I even went with them to away matches in Moscow and Perm to support my favorite team. And also the windows of my work (I am a children’s fitness instructor) overlook the central stadium, so even if due to work I am unable to come to the match, I still see the scoreboard and know what is happening!
Professionally, no. And as an amateur – constantly. It so happened that I was surrounded by boys since childhood, and, of course, in such a company, what else can I do but play the ball in the yard?
The decision came spontaneously. I learned about the competition from the Internet and decided to participate. At the same time I was invited to the casting “Miss Yekaterinburg – 2016”. I had to choose, because according to the terms of both competitions, it is impossible to do anything else. As you can see, Miss FC Ural preferred the Miss Yekaterinburg competition. For me, this title is more worthy!
I really like striker Chisamba Lungu.
I was a big fan of the German national team. If we talk about foreign teams, then they are my favorites. My dream is to go to Bavaria and buy some fan accessory there.
Yes, there are always a lot of men around me, and all my friends are mostly male. But it seems to me that modern guys are not as interested in football as they used to be. At least not so many people come to the matches of the home club. Therefore, as “Miss FC“ Ural ”I am going to popularize football in our city.
No! (Laughs.) I have a young man, his name is Anton, by the way, he is also fond of football, not professionally. And we did not meet outside thanks to sports. So it is unlikely that it will work out with the players!
