Promoter of the event Artem Kondrashov delivered himself of a speech, after which all the present sang the national anthem of Ukraine.
The White-Blues pro veteran Stefan Reshko, vice-president Olexiy Semenenko, Football magazine editor in chief Artem Frankov and journalist Mykola Vasylkov were special guests.
The main visitor of distinction was FC Dynamo Kyiv president Ihor Surkis, who stated:
- Being in this beautiful building we should thank Christian League promoters. It’s difficult to create what they have. I hope that they’ll keep working with a help of FC Dynamo Kyiv. We’ll provide them with better pitches. We are also ready to let final fixtures be played at Dynamo Stadium. Football is a great performance which grasps our minds and hearts. Dynamo will be fine until we have such supporters!
After the speech awarding ceremony took place.
Top league prizewinners honouring was acme of the event. Third place belongs to the team called Samson, second – to Godsend and first – to Otradnyi district team.
Players got medals and presents from FC Dynamo Kyiv. Everyone was given a ticked for the White-Blues game against SK Rapid Wien.
Dynamo president told journalist about importance of such competitions:
- I think it’s a good event. It’s great that people have no pernicious habits and play football. About two thousand children train at our academy, but only few of them achieve success in elite sport. Still our main task is to take kids away from streets. FC Shakhtar Donetsk president also declares that. I think that’s quite good if our school gives the main squad at least one player in two years. Those who care about football must be united. We should have no dissidence.
