Today, the annual charity mini-football tournament in memory of those who died in the war with Russia was held at the Kryvbas Football Academy. The event brought together friends, like-minded people and representatives of the red-white community for an important goal - to honor the memory of our fallen comrades and support the Kryvbas Ultras, who are today defending Ukraine in the war against the Russian occupiers.
“The most important thing is to remember our Heroes. We must hold such tournaments, honor their memory, maintain contact with their families and be close to them. This is why we are gathering together today and going out onto the football field. We are infinitely grateful to our defenders for the opportunity to live, work and play football in a free Ukraine. At the same time, the struggle continues, so it is important to continue to support those who are defending our country today. Thank you to everyone who joined this tournament. Glory to Ukraine! ", - emphasized the general director of FC "Kryvbas" Volodymyr Baienko.
Within the framework of the tournament, the participants and guests managed to collect charitable funds that will be directed to help the Kryvbas Ultras, who are currently serving in the ranks of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. This year, 12 teams took part in the tournament, which were divided into three groups.
Among the participants in the tournament was the Kryvbas Team, which included employees and representatives of FC "Kryvbas". For the club, participation in such an event is not only an opportunity to go out onto the football field, but also in this way to support its own Ultras community, which today defends the independence of Ukraine with weapons in hand.

An uncompromising struggle was waged on the Academy football fields throughout the day. The participants demonstrated character, desire to win and true team unity, but the main result was not the goals scored or the standings, but a common cause to support our defenders.
In a fierce struggle, the Realty Group team won. The Jolly Gang team took second place, and the representatives of the Brotherhood of the Carefree became the bronze medalists. The tournament in memory of the fallen Ultras of Kryvbas has already become a good tradition for the red-white family. This is an opportunity not only to come together on the football field, but also to pay tribute to those who are no longer with us, but who will forever remain a part of the history of the club and the Ukrainian struggle for freedom.
FC Kryvbas thanks all participants and guests of the event for their concern, support and contribution to the common cause. We remember our Heroes. We support those who continue the fight today.
