The "Open Football Festivals" took place at the central stadium in Ovruch — a project by the Ukrainian Association of Football aimed at promoting mass football among children, supporting their psychological well-being, and encouraging them to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

The project brought together students from grades 1–6 around sports, active leisure, and positive emotions. The event was organized by the Ovruch Territorial Football Association.

For the children, there were football, psychological, and safety zones where they participated in sports contests and team tasks. After the activities, participants were treated to snacks and field kitchen food from DPU workers.

At the end of the festival, all children received branded T-shirts and participant diplomas as a reminder of their bright sports day.
