War-affected children from Ukraine play in the Great Lakes Cup

An Ukrainian football team called Myropil, composed of children affected by the war in Ukraine, has participated in the Storsjöcupen in Sweden. The team's journey to Sweden was made possible through private initiatives led by residents of Östersund, including Lars and Hege Lindgren, who were inspired after visiting Ukraine. The initiative involved fundraising efforts, contributions from a church in Stockholm, and support from the Storsjöcupen organizers. The boys, some of whom had little to no experience playing football, trained together since winter and were excited about their participation. A video showing part of their match in Brunflo is available.
