A Gift from the Company to Future Champions!

The children’s handball team “Automagistral-Pivden Ivanivka” is starting their fight for the championship title in their brand-new uniforms!

Soon, the qualifying rounds of Ukraine’s national handball championship will begin for youth teams in two age categories. Among the contenders for victory is our sponsored team from the Children and Youth Sports School of Ivanivka village in the Odesa region.

Recently, we surprised the young athletes with a gift – a complete set of gear, including an autumn/spring jacket, a tracksuit, two sets of game uniforms, two sets of training T-shirts, ceremonial T-shirts, sports socks, and professional handballs with a carrying bag.

Now the team is fully equipped for training and competitions at the highest level!

“Automagistral-Pivden” has supported the team for many years. Ivanivka, in the Odesa region, is the native village of the company’s founders. Many of our specialists and employees also come from Ivanivka.

That’s why, Boyko family gladly supported the idea of Serhiy Latushkov, the local sports school’s coach, to create the best youth handball team in the Odesa region, and perhaps in the entire country.

“For children from a small town who don’t have wealthy parents, sports are a path to a bigger world. I’m grateful to the Boyko family for taking our team under their wing — providing uniforms, sports equipment, and helping with training camps and tournaments,” said Serhiy.

For four years, “Automagistral-Pivden Ivanivka” has been the champion of the Odesa region among youth teams. In 2023, they traveled to Denmark and won a prestigious international competition with over 350 teams participating. Last year, they were at a tournament in the Czech Republic, where they reached the group of the best teams.

And this year, our team won the all-Ukrainian competition in Bucha, which brought together 22 teams from all over Ukraine. The team has also started the new season successfully: with four wins in their first four games!
