“We started the Svitolina & Stakhovskyi Tennis Tour by Nova Post program during the full-scale war,” comments Elina Svitolina, “and for the second year in a row we have been convinced of how much children living and training in Ukraine need such an initiative. Thanks to the support of our donors and partners, in 2024, 280 young tennis players took part in this program alone, and the strongest of them received financial assistance to get closer to their sports dreams.”
It is worth noting that Ukrsibbank, the foundation's financial partner, joined the organization of the final part of the competition. Adidas, Wilson, and Morshynska were technical partners of the competition throughout the year. A series of four qualifying tournaments were held at the Tennis Park (Kyiv), Sofia (Rivne), Roger (Vyshkovo), and Leosport (Lviv) tennis clubs. The final tournament in the U-12 category took place at the Campa Tennis Club in Bucha, while the U-14 players competed at the modern Sport Villa Gray's sports complex in Vyshhorod.
