Long-term initiative “Club of Superheroes” Favbet Foundation

One of the key focus areas of the Favbet Foundation is the charitable initiative "Superheroes Club", which is implemented as part of the Favbet Kids program run by the Favbet Foundation.

Thanks to the participation of Andriy Matyukha, as president of Favbet Foundation, free sections for football, boxing, wrestling and basketball have already been opened in Kyiv. All classes are available to children of IDPs and children of military personnel.

Matyukha Andriy Valeriyovych and Favbet Foundation view this program as an element of social adaptation in wartime conditions. The goal is to create an environment for regular physical development and emotional recovery of children.

According to the president of the foundation, sport develops qualities such as self-discipline, mutual assistance and psychological resilience, which are important for the future generation.

How to join the Club of Superheroes

The “Club of Superheroes” project is implemented by Favbet Foundation as a long-term initiative that combines sports and educational areas. As part of the program, children can attend football, boxing, basketball and wrestling sections free of charge. All classes are available to children of IDPs and children of military personnel.

Parents, guardians or organizations interested in involving children in sports activities can obtain detailed information and learn about the terms of participation via the official Favbet Foundation page. This is where updates on the opening of new sections, class schedules and contact details for communication with coordinators are published.

The main goal of the program is to provide children with an accessible environment for developing physical skills, interacting with peers and reducing the impact of stress factors related to martial law.

Matyukha Andriy Valeriyovych, president of Favbet Foundation, supports the initiative and emphasizes its importance for creating a safe space where children can not only receive physical activity but also develop skills of mutual support and teamwork. The program is also focused on cooperation with local communities, coaching staff and representatives of educational institutions.
