— We conduct charity campaigns at almost all home matches of the national team, which are currently taking place abroad. The goal of these activities is to raise funds to help Ukraine. This time we are raising funds to save orphans. And it is very nice that such famous former football players as Yevhen Konoplyanka, Volodya Arzhanov, Kyrylo Sydorenko, Roman Zozulya, Myron Markevych, Oleksiy Dovhyi, and others responded to our invitation. There was one unique case in the match, Markevych's grandson Bohdan earned a penalty, Markevych's son Ostap asked from the stands for his grandfather to take it, and Myron himself converted the penalty.
