Ukrainian Stand from Sonyachny Stadium on Tour

In a poignant gesture before EURO 2024, the Ukrainian Football Association displayed a destroyed stand from Kharkiv's Sonyachny stadium, highlighting the impact of the Russian invasion on sports infrastructure. The stand, symbolizing resilience amid adversity, underscores that over 500 sports facilities in Ukraine have suffered from Russian attacks. Ukrainian football legend Andriy Shevchenko emphasized the nation's unwavering spirit despite a disappointing loss in their first match. The installation, including an interactive element, aims to showcase that football is not immune to war and will tour various German cities during the championship. This initiative serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing conflict and resilience of the Ukrainian people amidst adversity.
