Today in Bilohorodka demonstrated incredible strength of spirit, character and indomitability. Football on the field of the 'Kolos' stadium became much more than just a game — it was a tribute to the memory of fallen Defenders of Ukraine, and also a manifesto of the power of people who, after difficult trials, are returning to active life.
In a fierce and emotional struggle for the 'Bilohorodka Cup-2026', four teams participated:
-
National Women's Ampfootball Team of Ukraine;
-
AMP Vinnytsia;
-
Steel Eagles (Kropyvnytskyi);
-
Titans Zhytomyr.
A special pride for the entire Bilohorodka community is the participation in the tournament of our local residents who play as part of the National Women's Team of Ukraine. This is the team captain Olha Benda — a war veteran and ambassador of the Ukrainian Veterans Fund of the Ministry of Veterans, as well as goalkeeper Oleksandra Zolotukhina. Strong, brave and indomitable women who, by their own example, prove that sports restore confidence, strength and self-belief.
"For our community, the development of adaptive and veterans' sports is a strategically important direction. Supporting military personnel, veterans and people after injuries is our priority. Such events demonstrate that a person should not be left alone with their experience. There is always a team, a community and a space nearby where you can feel strong again. The winners are determined, but for me today, every athlete who came out on this field is a winner", — emphasized Bilohorodka community head Anton Ovsienko.
