On July 28, on the Ukrainian Super Cup matchday, Odesa hosted a Come On, Let’s Play! beach soccer festival
The event was organized by Shakhtar Social and supported by DTEK energy company.
The football ground was set up on the Big Fountain station 14 beach. From 9:00 to 16:00, all children could play, test themselves in football contests (playing keepie-uppie, various relay races) and get some memorable souvenirs and positive emotions.
A total of about 200 children took part in the Come On, Let’s Play! festival. During the day, they played about 70 short games.
- They still don’t have a Come On, Let’s Play! ground in Odesa, so we introduced the kids to our project in this unusual way, - says Inna Khmyzova, the Shakhtar Social director. - There are no losers or winners in this event. It’s important for us that all children enjoy it and play football in the future.
This is a reminder that the Come On, Let’s Play! project is being implemented at 43 grounds in 23 locations in Ukraine. Free sessions for children aged 7 to 12 years old are conducted by qualified volunteer coaches three times a week. All the participants are provided with balls and necessary equipment.
