They held the Youth Sports Games (YSG) final in Split, Croatia on August 20
This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of the biggest amateur sporting events in Europe called Youth Sports Games. Over that period of time, more than two million children and young people have taken part in it. The games are held in three countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.
An exhibition match with the participation of football stars was an important part of the international finals. The team of YSG ambassadors and friends included FC Shakhtar’s Director of Football Darijo Srna, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, as well as Zvonimir Boban, Predrag Mijatovic, Mario Stanic, Luis Figo, Fernando Hierro, Maxwell, Florent Malouda and others. The legends were opposed by the YSG participants - young men from the three countries.
The sides had two halves of 20 minutes each on the futsal pitch with synthetic grass. The youngsters defeated the stars 5-4. The first goal in the match was scored by Aleksander Ceferin, while Darijo Srna grabbed a late brace through assists by Malouda and Figo. The event ended with a photo shoot involving the participants, spectators and the footballers.
Shakhtar streamed the exhibition match live on the club’s official YouTube channel.
