After the solemn part, the stadium was completely handed over to the children. The festival began with a dynamic warm-up, after which the instructors conducted a variety of entertaining football games, competitions, contests and other events on the principle of "Sports for All". The football field was divided into 12 sectors, each of which employed a volunteer coach with an assistant. The children, united in teams, moved from sector to sector, where they were asked to perform one or another exercise or involved in the game. The participants of the festival showed their skills in the elements of football technique, competed in sports relay races and competitions. In addition to local children, children from IDPs from all over Ukraine took part in the Open Football Lessons.

At the end, each child received a participant's diploma, a commemorative medal and an exclusive T-shirt from the UAF, teams - football balls and cakes, and IDP children - also medical, food kits and basic necessities. The most important thing is that the children felt safe, had a good time and had a good time together.

After all, the purpose of the "Open Football Lessons" is to help protect children who are forced to stay temporarily in the western regions of Ukraine, unaccompanied children, orphans and other vulnerable children affected by the war.

It is hoped that the hours spent on the playground will not be in vain, and many of the children will decide to choose an active and healthy lifestyle and join a friendly football family.
