Football festival in Irpin: 50 children compete with FC Kudrivka players with the support of Pavlo Zhuryl
The original format became a special feature of the third charity event “A Day with the Kings Team”, organized by Pavlo Zhurylo with the support of FC “Kudrivka” through the Betking Foundation.
Football as a salvation
The stadium of the NUBiP Vocational College turned into a center of emotions and discoveries. From the very beginning of the match, it became clear: this was not just a football competition, but a real source of joy. Children, in symbolic T-shirts, enthusiastically tried to beat professional players, feeling like real stars. The game, in which 50 children competed against 11 players from FC “Kudrivka”, became a spectacle full of laughter, energy and team spirit.
Children’s smiles are an investment in the future of Ukraine
The founder of the Betking Foundation Pavlo Zhurylo emphasized the importance of support: “We don’t just play football. We create an environment where children feel that they are significant and worthy of success. Such initiatives are an investment in their bright future, confidence and socialization. The organizers are confident that football serves as a tool for change, teaching children to work in a team and receive support. The event not only brings joy to children, but also lays the foundation for their personal development.
Unity through sports
President of FC Kudrivka Roman Solodarenko noted: “Today’s match shows how football inspires not only on the field, but also in life. The children felt like part of a football family and found new friends. Our players not only competed, but also helped children feel their worth.”
After the game, the children received gifts, autographs from the players and were able to take memorable photos while enjoying a delicious lunch.
Project “A Day with the Kings Team”
The social initiative “A Day with the Kings Team”, created by Pavlo Zhuryl and Betking Foundation, has already united over 150 children from different cities, including Rivne and Irpin. The events were attended by children who became displaced persons, as well as those whose parents defend Ukraine at the front.
The initiative aims to give children new experiences, support and inspiration from famous athletes. This is a large social project that demonstrates the importance of cooperation between business and sport to help those who need it most.
