The event, which took place at the Horodotsky Lyceum, brought together 72 participants — boys and girls — who enthusiastically participated in various football activities. The children were treated to strength exercises, dribbling and stopping tasks, tug-of-war, balance and concentration exercises, and an educational football game.

In addition to the sports component, participants had the opportunity to join classes with psychologists from the Center for Resilience, where they learned to work in a team, support each other, and develop emotional resilience.

The children were especially interested in meeting the school's police security officer. In the security class, the students were told about the rules of safe behavior and introduced to the basics of providing first aid.

All participants received diplomas, exclusive T-shirts from the Ukrainian Football Association, and treats from the event organizers.

The UAF project "Open Football Lessons" is aimed at engaging children in an active lifestyle, developing team interaction, and creating a safe space for communication, support, and play.
