Already 20 professional teams from Ukraine have participated in events aimed at increasing players', coaches', and staff awareness about the principles of fair play. The goal is to cover all of Ukraine's professional football, literally communicating with every player and coach. This practice — a preventive strike by the UAF against fixed matches and other manifestations of unsportsmanlike conduct.

During lectures, examples of notorious cases of unethical behavior in football and their consequences were presented. Also discussed were instances of fixed matches that lead to disqualification of clubs, players, referees, and loss of fans' trust.

Within the events, a chat-bot Fair Play Assistant was also presented, in which all individuals involved in football can report potential violations of the code and familiarize themselves with Ukrainian legislation regulating the impact (manipulation) on sports competition results. This tool will be a useful resource for players and clubs, contributing to increased awareness and adherence to ethical norms in sport.
