Dynamo Kyiv continues preparations for the return leg against Turkish side Besiktas in the play-offs of the Conference League qualifying round in Bucharest.
Romania hospitably welcomed Mircea Lucescu's team, and for several weeks Kyiv have been preparing at the training grounds of Rapida, Dinamo Bucharest and Voluntari.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Romania has also become a refuge for many Ukrainians, including many children. In the first game of the White and Blues against Besiktas, many young fans gathered in the stands and actively supported Dynamo along with their parents.
On Monday, the club organised a meeting with the players for Ukrainian children living in Bucharest.
It was held in the format of an autograph and photo session. Oleksandr Karavayev, Denys Popov, Oleksandr Andrievskyi, Nazar Voloshyn and Anton Tsarenko met with the young fans.
More than three hundred fans came to see the players, and each of them received autographs from all the players and a photo to remember them by.
The children did not come to the meeting empty-handed - each of them brought their own patriotic drawings in support of the team and their favourite players.
Among the children were those who play football. In particular, representatives of the Viking children's school from Kherson region, who were especially happy to meet their countryman, Oleksandr Karavayev.
The audience thanked the players for their dedication and character demonstrated in the first game against Besiktas. And although the score in the two-match match is not in our favour, everyone believes that Dynamo can win back and make it to the group round.
