Football players and coaches of Prykarpattya from Ivano-Frankivsk joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the official website of the club, 14 players, as well as the coaching staff went to defend their native land from Russian military aggression..

" They know well what to do. It's like taking a football player from the district to a professional team, he will only interfere. It's like taking a football player into the army who can't do anything. That was what held me back a little - not to be a burden.

But when the military commissar explained to us that they would gradually train us, give us the basics and show us how to hold weapons, fight and defend Ukraine, we made a decision and joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

We have already been introduced to the machine: they taught us how to disassemble, clean and shoot. Everything gradually. We go on guard duty, we serve,"
