On Friday, Kids Village “Zatyshok” had a true football day. The children were visited by Yevhen Seleznyov — one of the most well-known Ukrainian footballers, a former player of the Ukraine national team and clubs such as Dnipro, Shakhtar, and Dnipro-1. And it wasn’t just a visit — it was a real match. The children played football together with a professional player: passes, shots, emotions, laughter — everything felt real and alive. For them, it was a unique experience — to step onto the field and play side by side with a true legend of Ukrainian football.

Yevhen also turned out to be a big animal lover — he happily spent time at our dog shelter, meeting each dog and openly sharing his emotions. It was a day the children will remember for a long time. Because moments like these are more than just a game.
