"Today, three U-19 matches of the Ukrainian Premier League were successfully held. This means that a special football season amid full-scale war has begun! Despite numerous obstacles and skepticism, football in Ukraine is reviving!
And immediately there was an experience of stopping a match after receiving an air raid warning signal. This happened near the end of the "Chornomorets" - "Veres" game, which took place at the Stadium of the Olympian Professional College named after I. PidDubnyk. According to safety protocol, all participants and organizers of the match went into shelter. And after the military informed approximately 20 minutes later that the warning was over, the teams completed the match.
