The event was organized by the Department of Special Physical Training with the support of the leadership of the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs.

Pétanque is not only a strategic game of accuracy and coordination, but also an effective way to maintain physical activity and achieve psychological relief. This sport, which is gaining popularity among veterans around the world, has become another tool for physical and psychological rehabilitation, building team interaction, and active leisure.

Pétanque has captivated DSUIA veterans: they have repeatedly participated in competitions in this sport and have won prize places at interregional competitions and the All-Ukrainian tournament.

Such events contribute to the active rehabilitation and social adaptation of veterans, the promotion of adaptive sports, the formation of a healthy lifestyle, and the further integration of Ukraine’s defenders into civilian society.
