On July 19, Ukraine celebrates Coach’s Day – a professional holiday of people who help athletes achieve high results, support them in difficult moments and raise new generations of champions. It is the coaches who often remain behind the scenes of big victories, although their contribution to each medal and record is enormous.

On June 17, a pleasant and inspiring event took place in the gym of the Kharkov National University of Radio Electronics – a meeting within the framework of the “Fashionable Youth” charity initiative, which is being implemented by the charitable organization “Hands of peace” Charitable Foundation with the support of Dutch partners.
The goal of the initiative is to support student youth who have chosen their future in Ukraine, promote their development and create conditions for new achievements.
As part of the project, the KNURE national football team received a new sports uniform. For our athletes, this is not only equipment, but also a symbol of support, faith in youth and motivation for upcoming victories.
Project manager Evgenia Gladkova, on behalf of the “Hands of peace” Charitable Foundation, handed over the uniform to the football players and wished the team bright matches and new sporting achievements.
Warm words of support for the athletes were expressed by the head of the Department of Physical Education and Sports of KNURE Natalya Didyuk and the deputy chairman of the KNURE Student Sports Club “IT-Leader” Dmitry Konovalov. They noted the importance of such initiatives for the development of student sports, team spirit and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among young people.
The KNURE national football team, under the leadership of coach Valery Lisakevich, continues to actively train and represent the university at sports competitions.
We sincerely thank the Charitable Foundation “Hands of peace” and the Dutch partners for supporting students and developing the sports movement in Ukraine.
We believe that this football uniform will be happy for our team and will bring many bright victories to the KNURE football players!
