NK Sesvete Stadium hosted a girls' football festival, with approximately 100 participants from the Sesvete Elementary School.

The festival was attended by Croatian Football Federation president Davor Šuker, who addressed the audience:

"The children are our future. I would like to see many of these girls in professional football one day, hopefully in the national team as well. Youth investments will enable new achievements".
