Shakhtar defender Vinicius Tobias talked to the children participating in the Come On, Let's Play! project
Brazilian Shakhtar defender Vinicius Tobias held an online meeting with participants of the Come On, Let’s Play! project in Zelenodolsk (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast). During the conversation, the children learned about the professional life of a footballer, heard stories from his childhood in his native Brazil and received advice on how to prepare for matches against strong opponents.
Tobias thanked the participants for the warm atmosphere, noting that they are his main source of inspiration. He also expressed his admiration for Ukraine and wished for peace to come soon and for new meetings at football stadiums.
Vinicius Tobias, Shakhtar defender:
– It was a wonderful and joyful meeting during which I shared my experience and childhood stories. We think about the children and truly want them to be happy, even in such a difficult time for the country. There are many talented children in Ukraine who dream of reaching great heights, so I sincerely hope that the war will end soon and people will once again be able to enjoy normal life with their families.
Come On, Let’s Play! operates in 27 localities across Ukraine, with 27 functioning pitches. More than 1,300 boys and girls from 7 to 12 years old participate in the project.
The general partner is DTEK.
