On April 3, 2016, on the World Autism Awareness Day, the stadium named after Bannikov hosted a charity football match named "Parliamentary Cup" between the teams of people’s deputies and journalists of Ukraine.

The main purpose of the match was to draw public attention to the issue of autism and help these special children. Thanks to the joint efforts of non-indifferent people, they raised funds for a total of UAH 222,000 to equip two sensory rooms in the Primavera correctional center, which assists children with autism.

In memory of the charity match, News Agency "Tsentr Novyn" (Center of News) collected photos of correspondents who voluntarily provided their works for the photo exhibition.
