The former forward of Kyiv’s Dynamo Igor Belanov commented on the beginning of the tour of “Golden Balls” of Ukrainian holders of this award, which started yesterday in Lviv.
"With my Golden Ball, I traveled around Europe, Asia, and of course, Ukraine — from large cities to the most remote corners, even to the front. Everywhere fans and young footballers were excited to see this trophy.
I am glad that all three Golden Balls are together today to support Ukrainians. And I believe: among our youth, there are many talented kids, and the next Golden Ball in Ukraine is just a matter of time," said Belanov.
Recall that Igor Belanov won the Golden Ball in 1986, Oleg Blokhin in 1975, Andriy Shevchenko in 2004. The tour of the Golden Balls of Ukrainians will take place from May 29 to June 19 in 11 cities of Ukraine.
