I thank the parents for the feedback about the good organization and orderliness of the university territory and that they felt safe with their children.
Only winners entered the football field, as it is already a great achievement to become a team player and fight for a sports victory. Together with partners and like-minded people who support the development of youth sports, we will continue to hold competitions so that children can engage in healthy physical activity, overcome stress and hypodynamia through online training, and most importantly – communicate with each other and enjoy childhood moments. I thank the parents of athletes and sports enthusiasts for this incredible atmosphere of joy and sincere emotions. The proposal to hold a fan contest was also very valid!
