Three years ago, we at NIBULON revived the tradition of football competitions by launching the Oleksiy Vadaturskyy Futsal Memorial Cup.

Teams from all NIBULON departments come together in Kyiv every year to enjoy fair play, share vibrant emotions, and honor the memory of Oleksiy Vadaturskyy, a true patriot and Hero of Ukraine. Though separated by thousands of miles, they are united by a strong desire — to compete together and showcase their best.

This year’s participants included four teams that compete every year:

• Zlatokrai, last year’s gold medalist, uniting colleagues from three branches—Zolotoniska, Vitove, and Pereiaslavska
• The Kyiv office team U44, last year’s silver medalist
• Korabely, bronze medalist of Cup 2024 from Mykolaiv
• Zakhid, representing NIBULON’s Western group of elevators.
• Additionally, a newcomer, FC DIGITAL, featuring specialists from the IT department.

Watching this year’s competition, it’s clear that for the NIBULON team, this event is about much more than just football. It’s about team spirit, the drive to win, and playing with maximum effort until the very end—even when energy runs low. The motto of Oleksiy Opanasovych and all of us is to push through and never give up.

Every year, our teams more athletic, stronger, and more professional. The games on the field become more exciting and unpredictable.The fans in the stands are more emotional Their support for the team was also felt virtually: for those who could not join our celebration, there was a YouTube livestream, which was full of energy, excitement, and unwavering support!

This year, the teams played on the same field using a round-robin format: each team faced every other team, resulting in four matches. Points were awarded as follows: 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. The team with the most points was crowned the winner. Based on match results, the final standings are:

• FC DIGITAL
• Korabely
• Zlatokrai
• U44
• Zakhid

But more than just competing for medals, individual awards were also given:

• Best Player of the Tournament – Ruslan Hopka from Zlatokrai
• Best Goalkeeper – Serhii Siryk from Korabely
• Top Scorer – Vitalii Zoria from FC DIGITAL

No matter the final placement, each team is the best in our eyes! We are proud of every player for your energy, determination, and perseverance.
