Ihor Surkis

— Dear fans, I can finally say these words to you again…

From the bottom of my heart, I congratulate all of you on the long-awaited championship! I am proud that during this difficult time for the whole country, our team has given our fans bright, victorious, championship emotions, many of whom learned about this news while defending Ukraine from the Russian aggressor. Our boys have shown true Dynamo character, unbreakable will on the field, and devotion to the rhombus on their hearts and to Ukrainian football.

It is especially pleasing that today, the champions are a team where 95% are our Ukrainian boys, most of whom are graduates of our academy. This is our pride. We did not just win gold medals — we proved that "Dynamo" stands on its own, on its roots, on its loyal ones.

Our youth have once again proven this by defending the title of champions of Ukraine yesterday, repeatedly showing that the Dynamo youth school is the best in the country!

I want to share a touching piece of news with you: at the match against "Kolos," we will present the updated club logo with a third star, which will have special significance and dedication. Believe me, this will be a symbol that will speak more than words.

Dear fans, this title is not the end, but a new chapter in the glorious history of our Dynamo. We will continue to develop the club, invest in our youth academy, and expand social and charitable programs. After all, victories on the football field are just the tip of the immense work we do together every day.

And most importantly, I want to emphasize once again… Sincere gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Our angels. Our defenders. It is thanks to them that we can play football, cheer, rejoice in victories, and simply live in a free, independent Ukraine. Only thanks to you today we say these words… "DYNAMO" KYIV — CHAMPION OF UKRAINE!
