After a long journey, 37 young male and female football players from Ukraine successfully reached the center of Coverciano in Florence — the legendary base of the Italian Football Federation, known as the "home of Italy's national teams." Here, national teams train, future coaches are trained, and the country’s football future is shaped.

As part of a collaboration between the Ukrainian Football Association and the Italian Football Federation, teams from all-Ukrainian competitions "School Ball" — Ternopil Specialized School No. 3, finalist team of the "School Ball" competition from Ivano-Frankivsk region — Ivano-Frankivsk Lyceum No. 10, as well as a girls' finalist team of the Ukraine U13 Championship "Vorskla" from Poltava — have set off for an international camp.

For many children, this trip was their first ever visit to Italy. Ahead of them are ten enriching days: football training, sports and cultural activities, getting to know Florence, rest by the sea, new friends, and impressions that will stay with them for a long time.

The Ukrainian Football Association sincerely thanks the Italian Football Federation for their warm welcome, support of Ukrainian children, and the opportunity to give them an unforgettable football experience.
