The Karazin University team became the winner of the tournament and earned the right to compete in the All-Ukrainian Final in July, where the eight best teams from higher education institutions across Ukraine will take part.

We congratulate the athletes and their coaches — Senior Lecturer of the Department of Basic Military Training, Physical Education and Sports Yurii Petrenko and instructor-methodologist in physical culture and sports of the “Univer-Loko” football club Viktor Rodionov — on this achievement and wish them new victories!
