On February 3, 2026, an open tennis training for war veterans was held at the Panorama Tennis Club, organized by the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Department of Physical Culture and Sports of the Odesa City Council in collaboration with the NGO «Free Warriors».

This event marked the beginning of a larger project aimed at implementing regular tennis and adaptive tennis sessions for war veterans in Odesa.

The tennis sessions for veterans are a first for our city and have become possible thanks to the financial support from sports organizations within the framework of the City Target Program «Development of Physical Culture and Sports in Odesa for 2024-2028».

The project is based on the principle of "equal to equal", where representatives of the veteran community determine their priorities and needs in adaptive sports.

All communication and organizational work were conducted by community representatives and veterans, with resource support provided by the city authorities.

All interested veterans can join the training by contacting the NGO «Free Warriors» at: +380954895709.
