At the Sidelines: A Documentary Film by Freedom QJ League

In youth football, a coach is often a figure whose work goes unseen – but whose influence on a player’s development is profound. It is the coach who can recognize true talent and help it shine. He teaches not just tactics, but also character, discipline, and self-belief.

In the 2024 season, Geymat led Ontustik Shymkent to gold in the U-17 B tournament. Now, he faces an ambitious new challenge: over the next three years, to raise a generation of players born in 2010 who will go on to achieve success not only in Kazakhstan, but also on the international stage.

If you love football not only for the big victories but also for the people whose daily work makes those victories possible – this film is for you.
