Also in Irpin, UAF leaders visited the "Champion" stadium, where, among other things, matches of the world championship among diaspora teams were held for several years in a row. After the attack by Russian fascists, both the field and the stands of the stadium are virtually destroyed.

In Bucha, representatives of the UAF visited a city gymnasium that is now a humanitarian center providing assistance to local residents. Humanitarian supplies are also being delivered here and in Irpin from foreign partners of the association in various countries. "It's a great honor for the football community to be able to help the residents of hero cities who have suffered from Russian crimes. It is very important that peaceful life is being restored both in Irpin and Bucha today. For which we are grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and must support our soldiers until total victory!" — noted Andriy Pavelko.
