| Description |
This super well-illustrated and detailed book tells the history of Estonian football, from the first football stadium in 1925 to the first World Cup qualifier in 1933
During this period, the Tallinn Football Club builds Estonia's first football stadium near the Kadriorg seashore, and a year later, the Kadriorg Stadium is completed a kilometre away. Estonia will be visited mainly by professional teams from Central Europe, against whom our clubs will play brave games and also enjoy victories. The first Estonian will go to play for an Austrian professional club. The first Estonian works as a masseur and physical training trainer at professional clubs in different countries. The era of Baltic tournaments begins: it is one of the most anticipated sporting events in Estonia every year. In 1933, Estonia participates in the first-ever World Cup qualifier, which takes place against Sweden in Stockholm. Football has taken a firm lead over other sports in terms of the number of amateurs and spectators during this period, and the national federation is the wealthiest compared to those of other sports. Football also dominates sports journalism, where it is covered all year round.
