"Open Football Festivals" is a project by the UAF aimed at providing psychological support to children through mass football.

Activities for children were held at six locations: "Psychologist's Playground," "Games for Development," "Football Technique," "Safety Playground," "Happy Games," and "Football Game." The participants worked with school psychologists, physical education teachers, sports instructors, coaches, and Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, participant in combat operations, Serhiy Zhupinas.

A special charm was added to the festival by a specially invited guest — a graduate of the local football school and now vice-captain of the People's Football Club "Veres," Vitaliy Boyko. Despite a serious injury sustained in one of the final matches of the UPL the day before, and preparing for an operation, the player gladly responded to the invitation. He presented sweet gifts to the children and signed autographs on branded shirts from the UAF.

All participants received unforgettable emotions, branded shirts, and diplomas signed by UAF President Andriy Shevchenko.
