A cash-strapped womans football team in Russia has promised to play their next game in their bikinis in the hope to attract crowds.
Members of the FC Rossiyanka team from Krasnoarmeysk near Moscow have already done a pre-publicity shoot to promote the event.
Tatyana Egorova,the teams coach said that although they have won many championships,only a few people have heard of the team.
We are the best womans team in Russia and have won many championships,even representing our country in the UEFA Champions League, the Sun quoted Egorova as saying.
But few people have ever heard of us and we dont get many people coming to games so weve decided to give our profile a boost by appearing in bikinis. We hope it will also improve the numbers of tickets we sell. We think its a good idea – our players are beautiful,great athletes and determined to win, she added.
