The presentation of the autobiography by the legendary Shakhtar player Darijo Srna took place on November 6 in Zagreb. FAVBET, Ukraine’s leading Entertainment Tech company, helped organize the event.


In the book “Why do they call you Srna?”, written in collaboration with a renowned Croatian journalist Milana Vlaović, Darijo talks about his childhood during the wartime, his beginnings in the sport, his career at Shakhtar, the ups and downs, as well as shares some of the little-known facts about his life.

According to Darijo, the path to publishing the biography was a long one: “Four years ago, my club started writing a book. However, I didn't like the writer and I didn't like the book either. After that, we put the book on "stand by" and I decided with my wife that it would be best if Milana Vlaović wrote it, because only she could write something like that. My job was to expose myself and say everything I wanted to say, openly and concretely.”


Attending the presentation of Darijo Srna’s book were his relatives, former teammates and friends, including the President of FAVBET Foundation Andriy Matiukha, whom the famous footballer thanked for the help in organizing this event.


During the event, the former Shakhtar captain also spoke about his unwavering support for Ukraine in opposing Russian aggression. “Seeing what’s happening is very difficult... I'm helping, it's my second homeland, I've been in Ukraine since 2003. I live more in Ukraine than in my native Metković. Therefore, they are good people, real people who didn't deserve any of this and we have to provide any help in any way we can. We must stand with them, as we do. Thank you, Croatia, for that!” he said in his address.


True to his word, Darijo said that the money from his autobiography sales will go to a project supporting Ukrainian children who have lost their parents because of the war.
