I really like to participate in such competitions. I have been engaged in the Come On, Let’s Play! project for a year now. And that's the first time when they recognized me to be the best. I want to thank them!

The goalkeeper of Sport Danylo Nortov also received a commemorative figurine.

In the youngest age group (aged 7 to 10), the victory went to the guys from Tytan. In the penalty shoot-out, they proved stronger than Sport. Tsentr claimed the third spot.

The participants were awarded by a formerly well-known Shakhtar goalkeeper Yuriy Virt and representative of the Lviv city administration Volodymyr Shnaider, who thanked FC Shakhtar for the close cooperation.

- I have not seen so much joy on children's faces since long ago, - shares his impressions Yuriy Virt. – Such tournaments are really important. We should thank the organizers - everything was held at the highest level. It's great when the kids have the opportunity to play on such modern new grounds, participate in competitions and generally engage in sports. I think everyone is happy and they will look forward to new tournaments.
