The participants of the meeting discussed the prospects and opportunities for cooperation between Ukraine and the United States in the field of football and sports in general. In particular - the initiative to create children's football exchange camps. The President of the UAF also told the guests about the recent visit of the delegation of the Ukrainian Football Association to Chicago and Washington. Instead, members of the delegation from the United States shared extremely positive impressions of their stay in Ukraine and noted the high level of tolerance in our society. As an example, they mentioned their visits to the match of the 10th round of the Vbet League between Dynamo and Shakhtar. In particular, the guests were touched by the social action before the match, during which, at the initiative of the UAF, the team and about 30 fans honored the memory of the victims of the terrible crime in Babyn Yar, which took place in Kyiv 80 years ago.
