Within the framework of psychological and social support for children of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, children of higher military educational institutions, and war-affected children, the Ukrainian Football Association, with UEFA's support, continues the "Open Football Lessons" project.

Students from schools in the Pulin region participated in the project during a football festival where they learned the basics of playing football. The pupils were delegated by the Pulin Lyceum, Vazlavpill Lyceum, Novozavodsk Lyceum, Staroaleksandrovsky Gymnasium, Pulin District Children's Sports School, and IRZ No. 3 in Zhytomyr.

Traditionally, the Pulin region is famous for its football traditions. It's very important for us to involve young people and children in an active lifestyle. It was pleasant that the leadership of the settlement approached with a proposal regarding the event.

I wish participants find only the best from football lessons. Perhaps, in the future, someone among these children will engage in professional football,” — emphasized Ruslan Pavlyuk, head of the Zhytomyr Oblast Football Association, during the opening of the event.

Also present at the event was Executive Director Ruslan Mayevsky and project coordinators. After the completion of open football lessons, all participants received football balls and sports equipment.
