Shakhtar presented a multipurpose wheelchair to a fan of theirs before the match vs Karpaty in Kharkiv
Oleksii Moskalenko is a disabled person of group I. Due to osteoporosis, he is forced to move in a wheelchair. However, being a loyal fan of Shakhtar, no matter what, Oleksii attends almost every home match of the Orange-and-Blacks in the Premier League and European competitions at the OSK Metalist.
On March 10, before the game vs Karpaty, the Shakhtar goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov and captain Taison - immediately after arriving at the stadium - went to the field, where they met the fan and, on behalf of the whole team, gave him a gift - the multipurpose wheelchair.
- I have been a fan of Shakhtar ever since my childhood, - says Oleksii Moskalenko. - We addressed the club, and I am very grateful that they responded to my request - it happened so quickly. When Pyatov and Taison approached me to hand the present, I simply could not believe my eyes. Thank you so much!
The players talked to Oleksii and took some photos as mementos.
- It’s very nice that people, regardless of their position or condition, come to the stadium and root for us. On our part, we are ready to help them in every way, - says Andriy Pyatov. - It's no secret how diverse our support is. Shakhtar gives aid to hospitals, children, and the disabled. And we will continue doing that!
