In March, the Estonian men's national football team is set to compete in the FIFA Series tournament held in Rwanda, alongside teams from the host nation, Kenya, and Grenada. The tournament format includes semifinal and placement matches, with penalty shootouts initiated directly in the event of a tie. Estonia's opening match is scheduled for March 27 against Kenya at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, known for its 45,000 spectator capacity.

The first semifinal on the same day will see Rwanda taking on Grenada, with the losers of the opening matches playing each other afterward. The final match is slated for March 30. Notably, the tournament represents a continuation of a pilot project from 2024, and other four-team groups are being hosted in various countries like Australia, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and Uzbekistan. Additionally, three women's FIFA Series tournaments will take place in Brazil, Ivory Coast, and Thailand.

The tournament not only showcases the growing opportunities for international football competitions across different regions but also emphasizes the significance of participation for teams like Estonia in the global football landscape. Engaging in such tournaments facilitates exposure and experience for players, while potentially setting the stage for notable performances that could influence their international standing.
