The uniqueness of the "Unity Cup of Ukraine" is that participants include children from post-conflict areas and those affected by the war, with teams composed of girls and boys aged 11-13. The team from Donetsk Oblast, coached by Stanislav Nedogoda and Boris Maluta, demonstrated an incredible performance, finishing in 5th place in the tournament.

We thank the players and coaches for their dedication and excellent play even during the uneasy nights of the capital.
