Today, on 2 May, Ukrainian sports and football official, President of the Football Federation of Kyiv and former Vice President of the Football Federation of Ukraine Ihor Kochetov turns 65. On behalf of our club, Dynamo President Ihor Surkis congratulated the hero of the day:
"Dear Ihor Mykolayovych!
On behalf of all Dynamo players and on my own behalf, let me congratulate you on your 65th birthday and express my deep respect and honour.
With your work, you make a huge contribution not only to the development of Kyiv football, but also give a lot of effort for the benefit of the whole of Ukraine.
We all know that football is a matter of life for you, in which you put your whole soul, and it is not for nothing that your many years of activity as the President of the Kyiv City Football Federation have been so successful. It is very valuable that you pay a lot of attention to the development of children's and amateur football, and you constantly take care of sports veterans.
On this day, I sincerely wish you, first of all, an end to the war and a peaceful life in a free and independent Ukraine. I also wish you good health, happiness, family comfort, warmth and prosperity. I wish you strength, energy, inspiration and good luck in all your endeavours in your future activities for the benefit of Ukrainian football.
Sincerely yours
Ihor Surkis, President of FC Dynamo Kyiv
