Ural Federal District coach Sergei Mordvintsev:

- Our team contains players from Ak Bars Kazan, Neftyanik Almetevsk, Lada Tolyatti and Salavat Yulaev Ufa. All of the matches here were tense, as we earned two victories in overtime and the final in a penalty shootout. I'm really happy for the guys, I am confident that a lot of them will be selected for the under 16 national team.
