On May 8, the "Open Football Festival" for children and students was held on the territory of the Usativ Lyceum named after P.D. Vernidub. Participants took an active part in football relays, technical exercises and outdoor games. The organizers paid special attention to creating a positive atmosphere where every child could feel like part of a real football team.

Such festivals are an important component of the development of children's and youth football. They introduce children to the basics of the game, instill discipline, mutual respect, team spirit and a love of sports, and also involve young people in regular sports activities.
