Dynamo head coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi met with representatives of the football and diplomatic community as part of an invitation to an honorary dinner at the German Embassy.
As part of the event, Oleksandr talked to Arne Friedrich, the football ambassador of Euro 2024 and former defender of the German national team, Peter Kettner, Head of the Sports Department responsible for Euro 2024 diplomacy, Tim Prang, Permanent Deputy Ambassador of Germany to Ukraine, and Vitali Klitschko, the head of the Kyiv City State Administration and legendary Ukrainian athlete.
The main topic of the conversation was the development of Ukrainian sport, and football in particular, in the context of the war in our country. Despite the constant shelling and attacks on Ukrainian cities, the national football championship took place for the second season in a row, and the national team reached the finals of Euro 2024.
Ukraine's war against the Russian invaders has been going on for more than 10 years, but even in such circumstances, our country is developing amateur and professional sports and gaining major victories in the international arena. Our country is glorified by representatives of many sports who have won gold medals at competitions of various levels.
