Since last fall, the second cycle of classes has already been held in Ivano-Frankivsk within the framework of the Ukrainian Football Association project "Inclusive Football Sections."

Classes have taken place at the Kalusky Lyceum № 3 (trainer — Yuriy Bogdan) and the Verkhovynsky Lyceum (trainer — Ludmila Savchuk), with each location hosting 40 sessions for children with special educational needs. Thirty-two children, who require a special approach and attention during classes, participated in these events.

Through the Mass Football Charter of UEFA, the Ukrainian Football Association aims to:

— improve the psychological and physical well-being of children through involvement in physical activities and socialization;

— change society's attitude towards people with disabilities;

— provide access to inclusive sports training;

— unlock children's potential;

— unite children and adults, regardless of physical or mental development characteristics.

Inclusive football sections, to which children with special educational needs are enrolled, are open within the project in 21 communities across Ukraine. Thanks to the UAF, these sections are equipped with children's football uniforms, balls, and necessary sports equipment.
