Immediately after two matches with the French "Lyon" (3:1, 0:3), which took place last Tuesday, late in the evening of the same day, the delegation of Kyiv "Dynamo" went to Belgium, where on July 15 Mircea Lucescu's team will play another test match - with Antwerp.

Mayor of Brussels Philippe Klose, together with an assistant who is responsible for the sports direction, held a press conference, to which Dynamo representatives were invited, in particular, assistant head coach Oleg Gusev and FC Dynamo international manager Anatoly Volk. The press conference was held at the Brussels City Hall and was held not in a traditional way, but in an informal and non-standard way, namely, in the format of a friendly dialogue.
Philip Klose, who is a football fan himself, noted that he was pleased to welcome FC Dynamo as the flagship of Ukrainian football, which at the moment is the personification of peace in Ukraine. He talked to the guests, who, on behalf of the club's management and personally, thanked the mayor for the warm and hospitable welcome, thanks to which the entire Dynamo delegation felt at home, and invited him to the match in Antwerp to support our team.
Oleg Gusev thanked the mayor, as well as all of Belgium and the European Parliament for the financial and military support of Ukraine in the war against the Russian occupiers. Philip Klose noted that Ukraine protects not only its borders, but also the entire European Union, therefore the Belgians are a brotherly people for Ukraine, because the country receives a large number of Ukrainians who fled the war. There are 45,000 Ukrainians in Brussels alone, and even more in all of Belgium.
