At the last training session before vacationing, Shakhtar footballers have packed the New Year gifts for displaced children
Welcome through Football
Starting from the 2020/21 season with the support of the UEFA Foundation and EFDN, Shakhtar Social has been implementing a new Welcome through Football project in which the displaced children between aged 11 to 13 attend free football sessions under the guidance of professionals. Their major purpose is helping the socially troubled children to settle in a new place with the help of the language of football.
The players sent them gifts
In previous years, Shakhtar invited the displaced children to one of the closing training sessions and greeted them on the upcoming holidays right at the Sviatoshyn Sports Complex, but this time the event has been held remotely due to quarantine restrictions. Before the winter vacation, Shakhtar players personally packed the New Year gifts for 40 participants in the Welcome through Football project. The sets include sweet treats and thermal mugs and scarves that are useful in the cold season.
