In the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, the 74th FIFA Congress took place, attended by the President of the Ukrainian Association of Football, Andriy Shevchenko, and the General Secretary of the organization, Igor Gryshchenko.

"The day began with the signing of a trilateral cooperation agreement between Ukraine, Norway, and Romania.

As part of this cooperation, we are focusing on the development of grassroots football, as well as girls' and women's football. Specifically, during 2024-2025, training for female coaches from Ukraine and Romania will take place in Norway. Without qualified coaches, there will be no development of grassroots football, and without it, there will be no strong national teams," stated Andriy Shevchenko.

It is also worth noting that recently, the President of the Ukrainian Association of Football, Andriy Shevchenko, and the President of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, signed a memorandum of cooperation.
