"Today's meeting is an important step towards strengthening cooperation and coordination among all those working to develop football in the regions. On behalf of the leadership, I express gratitude for the work done by each region, especially those that operate under difficult conditions on frontline territories. Despite all challenges, you continue your activities for the development of Ukrainian football."

The main goal of the meeting was not only to discuss current issues but also to introduce new people in the UAF team responsible for various areas. We aim to make such meetings regular and hold them at least once a year. In addition, there is a monthly Assembly of Regions aimed at sharing experiences. As coordinator of this initiative, I assure you: we are open to proposals, seek new formats, and strive to become the most effective organization in the public sector. And I believe that together, through our joint efforts, we will achieve this," — noted General Secretary of the UAF Igor Gryshchenko.
