"Holding football competitions during war is not only about sports. It is about the demonstration of our people's fearlessness, indomitable spirit and desire for an inevitable victory in the war for independence against the Russian occupiers. This is a unique initiative in world history — football against war in conditions of war, football for peace! I am sure that football will give additional energy and strengthen public faith in the final success of the Armed Forces on all fronts and the complete liberation of Ukraine. The restoration of football will be one of the elements of this victory", - Andrii Pavelko noted.
