“I like Kyiv very much. I am from a small city [in Sweden], so it’s quite big for me. After the game Sweden against Ukraine, all the people on the streets [were] so happy and cheering. I am [most] impressed with the people.”
Pernilla Nelson, Sweden
“The Swedish fans [impressed me most]. [They are] happy and friendly. In Ukraine everybody is very helpful. We went on a bus tour and everybody was very friendly.”
Michael Johansson, Sweden
“I believe I came with a lot more prejudice. I thought it was a lot less modern. So I am really impressed with the city and how modern it actually is and also how friendly the people are. We get picked up by strangers who want to talk to us. I don’t understand a single word they say but I can understand that they are friendly at least. That impresses me a lot.”
Cissandri Berd, Sweden
“After all the parties at night [where] everyone was throwing glasses on the floor, when we woke up it was so clean and so nice. I like it here in Ukraine actually. We have an apartment up here [on Khreshchatyk] but we go to the Swedish camp [on Trukhaniv Island] and just relax on the beach.”
Huber Sjoberg, Sweden
“The hospitality [impressed me most]. Everyone is very friendly, I did not feel uncomfortable at any time, [people] welcome us. Back home I’m used to faster tempo. Here it takes some more time, but you actually get something. I like Kyiv and Olympic Stadium was amazing. The biggest I’ve ever seen. It was the highlight of this trip.”
