Still in September 2013, our team started its uneasy way in the DYNAMO Student Football League.

It is very difficult to repeat the previous success for all the teams, and even more for our team of physicians which takes part in this tournament (II and III place in previous tournaments) just for the third year.  The main task for our team was to get back into the final four which was traditionally held at the Valerii Lobanovskyi Dynamo stadium.

The decisive stage of  the competition started in spring of 2014. In order to manage that our team of NMU reached 100% result in the group stage wherein it won the 1st place. In the quarterfinal the team of physicians fought against the team of NTUU “KPI”. For both teams this meeting was very important because only the victory of one of the teams gave the possibility to get into the final part and to play at one of the best stadiums in Ukraine. Eventually, the final whistle recorded the victory of our team with a score of 2:0.

Semi-final meeting with the team of the National University of Food Technologies, which was stronger, gave an opportunity to students of the NMU to confirm the success of the previous year in the fight for the bronze medals.

On May 24, 2014  final games of four powerful student teams of  Kyiv was held. Glowing compassion of medical students in the stands and the personal support of the Acting  Rector of NMU, Professor K.M. Amosova and the governing body of our university added strength to  our team in its fighting against the team of V. Hetman KNEU  Just less than 5 minutes before the final whistle the O. O. Bohomolets NMU team snatched the victory in this contest game where the last point was set by team captain, Volodymyr Oleksiuk (Medical Faculty no.2, 4th year of study).

A very firm and confident game  of our goalkeeper, Oleh Voytovich (Medical Faculty no.1, 2d year) should be noted significantly, who was once again recognized by championship organizers  as the best goalkeeper of the Dynamo Student League.

We sincerely congratulate our players with their successful game!
