Today, December 3 marks International Day of People with Disabilities
Today, December 3, marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities as established by the UN General Assembly resolution of October 14, 1992.
Each year, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is dedicated to a specific aspect of the realization of the rights of persons with disabilities. This year's theme is "Ensuring the active participation of people with disabilities in society", which is one of the global goals of sustainable development of the United Nations until 2030.
Ukrainian football is quite open to this, sharing UEFA's values and social responsibility strategy.

Separately, the UAF also notes loyal fans with disabilities who regularly attend national team matches in various cities of Ukraine. We thank for the support and invite to the stadiums fans in wheelchairs and musculoskeletal disorders, as well as fans with visual and hearing impairments. The football arenas where the national team's games take place meet the requirements of architectural accessibility, ie they are adapted for comfortable movement and placement of people in wheelchairs, and audio descriptive commentary of matches is regularly organized for visually impaired fans in Kharkiv and Kyiv. See you in the stands!
