I would like to wish that the next games will be even more successful, and we conduct similar sporting events more often at a higher level. This is important both for the development of sports and for uniting youth across Ukraine.

Also, I want to thank everyone who contributed to organizing and conducting the match. Thanks to your support and dedication, we were able to create an event that unites and inspires. Respect to all those who contribute to the development of sports in Ukraine, and thanks to the ZSU for the opportunity to hold such events,— noted during the closing ceremony President of UAFLI Oleg Andriienko.

Honorary certificates from the UAF were awarded to players Bogdan Dembik and Yaroslav Chernysh, as well as coaches Dmytro Saburov and Oleksandr Petrachenko.

We have been holding such tournaments for over 10 years. I would like to note that in this Kyiv city and region team there are players who play in "Liza Duzhikh" and national teams of various specialties.

The organization of this tournament has become an important unifying factor in the development of football programs for people with disabilities. Thanks to its stability and consistency, we manage to systematically develop corresponding directions and attract new participants.

During a brief discussion, potential joint projects were outlined that could be implemented in Kyiv and have positive prospects. In this context, it is especially important that regional representatives continue to actively support the scope of work that has been developed earlier,— noted Honored Coach of Ukraine, member of the Executive Committee of UAFLI, chief referee of the tournament Dmytro Saburov.
