Tennis for Veterans: New Opportunities in Odesa

05 February 2026

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

This event served as the launch of a larger project aimed at establishing regular tennis sessions for war veterans in Odesa, including adaptive tennis.

The sessions were initiated for the first time, thanks to the financial support from sports organizations under 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 veterans themselves determine their priorities and needs in the field of adaptive sports.

The communication and organizational work were carried out by community representatives and veterans, with resource support provided by the city authorities.

All war veterans are invited to join the training by contacting the NGO «Free Warriors» at: +380954895709.
