Therefore, for many years now, we have been supporting. We are ready to help, to be close to you, and I believe that we are one family. Be healthy and happy ".

Footballers try to give joy to their performances on the football field, but the support that you provide, it is very important for us, "added Alexander Khatskevich.
"The tragedy has had a profound impact on our entire generation, but the most important is that, despite all the difficulties, every year you come and support the Dynamo. We appreciate this support and, for our part, will please you with sporting achievements. May God give all of us and, first of all, you - a belief in yourself, health and a peaceful sky above your head ".

Of course, this is a day of remembrance and sorrow, but we are very glad to see you. God grant that all were healthy, "- wished Matvey Zamihovsky.
"Dear children, dear parents. It seems that we literally met yesterday with you, talked, but it turned out that it had been flying for a whole year. I always come to you with such warmth and desire that it is difficult to describe in words, "said Vladimir Muntean.
"This day - it is certainly tragic, so many years have passed. Many veterans of Dynamo on this day held their regular matches. Where was I that day? In Madagascar. I would like to wish you, children, health. Parents - patience. Thank you for the love of Dynamo, which you give to our club for many years. Well, the club - good luck on the football field ".

This tragedy did not catch me, but seeing how the accident affected other people, I can not look at life through rose-colored glasses. Thank you, that you support the Dynamo. Dynamo with you!

Sports spirit, education in teams like Dynamo, let us hope that our children will be the same. What, in the future, will reflect and will be able to prevent the tragedy that occurred 32 years ago ".

Not only us, our children, but families, hospitals, orphanages and other organizations. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much! I hope that together we will build a better country ".
