"It's wonderful and incredibly interesting that we can conduct football training sessions inspired by Disney movies, — noted Yuriy Solomyanyi. — This time we had the great opportunity to combine football training with the movie 'Encanto'."

The training sessions were held twice a week. The girls were divided into two groups of 15 people each. Both the girls and their parents really enjoyed combining sports activities with Disney movie themes, as well as team competitions.

Emotions are overwhelming everyone. It's wonderful that we can give smiles to children during this time. We would like to thank the Chernivtsi Football Association and the Ukrainian Football Association for the UEFA PLAYMAKERS project, which is being implemented in our community."

Goals of the UEFA PLAYMAKERS program, which is being implemented by the Ukrainian Football Association:
- to introduce girls to football by creating an environment where fun, friends, and football are at the center;
- to implement a new individual coaching approach that uses imagination (inspired by Disney stories and characters) as a tool for training and acquiring football skills;
- to develop life skills, basic movement skills, and teach the fundamentals of football to foster lifelong interest in the sport.
