Women's football remains a priority area for the work of the UAF even during times of resistance to Russian aggression, and the national association together with regional branches finds opportunities for girls across the country to continue practicing their favorite sport. And such sporting events are an opportunity for children to briefly return to carefree childhood and receive positive emotions from playing.
