The event was organized by the Ukrainian Football Association and the Cherkasy Regional Football Association. The goal of the project is to popularize football and involve children in an active and healthy lifestyle.

A team of young leaders, who had previously been trained at a seminar in Kyiv, took part in the preparation of the “Open Football Festivals” in Blagodatne. They managed to gather 70 children aged 9 to 13.

Participants were divided into 6 groups, which worked in turns at six thematic locations for an hour and a half:

  • "Psychologist's Platform" — the classes were conducted by school psychologist Maryna Riznyk;
  • "Developmental Games" — physical education teacher Konstantin Minnegalimov;
  • "Football is technology" — combatant, senior sergeant Serhiy Zhupinas;
  • "Safety area" — Maksym Masyuk;
  • "Fun games" — Artem Besarab;
  • "Football game" — Oleksandr Sobko.

This rotation allowed each child to try their hand at various activities — from technical football drills to team interaction and safety tasks.
