Midfielder of Kyiv’s Dynamo Vladislav Kabaev shared his emotions from playing for the Ukrainian national team at a friendly tournament in Toronto, where the “blue-yellow” team played against Canada (2:4) and New Zealand (2:1).
Vladislav Kabaev (on the right) in the match against Canada“Toronto surprised with its atmosphere: streets where the Ukrainian language was spoken, smiles from people who approached just to support and thank us for the game, and children who asked to take photos. In these moments, you realize: football is much more than just a game.
This trip to Toronto is something special. The atmosphere, the support, people with Ukrainian flags… These are not just matches — this is a feeling of unity far from home.
Thank you, Toronto, for the emotions!” — Kabaev wrote on his Instagram page.
