Young Ukrainians

The players were also joined by a group of young footballers from Ukraine who have been forced to flee from their country. The meeting was arranged in association with the Cruyff Foundation.

The children are currently being housed at Can Roviralta, a youth hostel in Els Hostalets de Pierola, where one of the Cruyff Courts is located. The hostel is run by the Diagrama Foundation, and their stay is being organised by the General Direcorate of care for Children and Adolescents (DGAIA).

Rafa Yuste was there in representation of the club and exchanged some words with the children afternoon, as did Jordi Cruyff.
