Dynamo Kyiv's 2-0 friendly match with Latvian club Liepaja, which took place last Friday, was attended by special guests.
As in previous matches, Dynamo invited orphans who were forced to leave Ukraine due to the war. The young Ukrainian refugees now live in different parts of Turkey - they were evacuated from the territories of Ukraine where the fighting was taking place.
Like before the previous games, the children accompanied the players of both teams onto the pitch of the Mardan Stadium wearing patriotic T-shirts. Throughout the match, the young fans, who brought posters, drawings and Ukrainian flags, kept actively supporting our team, shouting chants and applauding every goal scored and bright episode on the pitch.
The children got the most vivid impressions after the match, when they had the opportunity to personally communicate with the team players right on the pitch, take a joint photo with Dynamo players, and get autographs from their idols. The children paid special attention to the birthday boy, Denis Popov, whom they greeted with a song. The children presented their drawings and posters with words of support to the players as a souvenir.
