KYIV, Ukraine, October 15, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- FC Polissya, one of Ukraine's top football clubs, flipped the script with a training session like no other at their home ground in Zhytomyr. Known across Ukraine as the Polissya Wolves for their ferocious, never-say-die attitude, the team joined forces with official sponsor GGBET.UA to organize a Media Game: one big training session with the press invited onto the pitch.
For one day only, the journalists swapped their notepads for football boots and stepped into the shoes of the stars they usually write about: they sweated through the warm-up, battled through drills straight from the club's playbook, and topped it all off with a sparring match in mixed lineups, with journalists and Polissya players shoulder to shoulder in the same teams.
The players mucked in alongside their guests, while FC Polissya head coach Ruslan Rotan and his staff called the shots. When the final whistle went, Rotan and the squad swapped the pitch for the press room and took the journalists' questions at a media briefing.
"Today, the journalists found out firsthand what our training sessions are really like, and we got to see them in a whole new role. And I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised by some of the potential on display. We thank our official sponsor GGBET for helping us put this event together: the banter, the teamwork on the pitch, and the fantastic atmosphere gave the whole squad a real shot in the arm," said Rotan.
Both camps came away buzzing: the footballers loved the media team's competitive streak, and the journalists got a rare backstage pass to see the action from the inside instead of from the touchline.
GGBET.UA signed up as FC Polissya's official sponsor in July 2025. Since then, the partners have repeatedly teamed up on projects that bring the club closer to the media and fans than ever before. A case in point: in July 2026, they unleashed the "Pack's Code," a creative photo shoot that put players from the men's and women's squads in high-fashion looks and revealed the stories behind their shirt numbers.
