On the eve of the match against Lviv, Dynamo organized a pleasant meeting. The people of Dynamo invited to their hotel children from the Bolekhiv children's football school, among whom there were many IDP children from Eastern Ukraine who were forced to flee from the war to safer regions of Ukraine, as well as local Lviv residents.
It should be noted that Volodymyr Andrusyshyn, a native of Bolekhov, who is an ardent fan of Dynamo, helped organize this meeting.
The football players of our team from Kyiv brought gifts for the little ones: two huge nets of branded balls, and also made special cards for the autographs of each of the players.
It is noteworthy that the team came to the meeting after training. The people of Dynamo entered the premises where it was held in small groups so that all the children had time to get an autograph from their favorite football players and take a souvenir photo with each of the players. Thus, the enjoyment of the event was extended as much as possible.
It should be noted that all those present were especially happy to see captain Serhiy Sydorchuk and midfielder Oleksandr Karavaev, because the boys from Kherson, Oleksandr's hometown, were at the meeting.
It is interesting that the Dynamo legionnaires did not expect that they would be greeted so warmly. Benito was especially impressed, who became particularly recognizable after his political statements and support for Ukraine. The children did not leave him. Benito came with his mascot - a bracelet with the Ukrainian flag on his arm. It was given to him by Ukrainian refugee orphans, whom our team invited to their matches during the winter training camp in Antalya, Turkey.
So, both football players and children received many pleasant, positive emotions before the match.
