Caring for veterans from the Lviv Football Association

Representatives of the Lviv Football Association continue to provide assistance to football veterans in quarantine. In particular, 64-year-old Viktor Burmistrov was not left out.

"In my youth I was actively involved in sports - not only football, but also volleyball, athletics. He played for the double of Lviv "Karpaty", also played for "Yavoriv" at the regional level. Unfortunately, I had to end my sports career due to a serious knee injury, which still haunts me. You need to undergo a long course of treatment, regularly make cheap injections. LAF Chairman Oleksandr Yakovlevich Shevchenko helped me buy the medicine I needed. I am sincerely grateful for the help ", - said Victor Burmistrov.

Earlier in the quarantine period assistance received veterans of the region and their relatives - a total of about fifty people. Also, the leadership of the association joined financially in a complex operation of the veteran of Lviv "Carpathians" and Kharkiv "Metalist" Rostislav Potochnyak, which will take place in the coming days. Rostislav Potochnyak, 72, has to have his hip replaced.

"I am in the hospital for the third day. Talking to doctors, they assured that the operation scheduled for next Tuesday should be successful. In the future I will have about two months of rehabilitation, I need to develop an injured leg. It is nice that Oleksandr Shevchenko takes care of veterans. I feel that I am remembered. I am sincerely grateful for your support and help ", - Rostislav Potocniak noted.
