Brazilian footballer Daniel Junio de Jesus Nascimento, of VPK-Ahro Shevchenkivka team of the Ukrainina Premier League, was among the first to visit the center in Ciorescu. He arrived in Moldova last night and was lodged in Vadul lui Vodă. Owing to the war, the footballer got lost and could not leave Ukraine earlier. The Moldovan Football Federation accommodated foreign players of the two top Ukrainian teams Dinamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk and their family members in Moldova.
