The Executive Committee of the UAF approved the appointment of the head coaches for Ukraine's women's and girls' national teams. In particular, Natalia Ignotovich became the coach of the youngest girls' team (WU-15), a position she held last year with the women's youth team (WU-19).

— I have already had experience training players of this young age, — Natalia Ignotovich told the official UAF website. — Initially it was in Chernihiv, then — in neighboring Poland. So I don't need to borrow any experience.

Of course, participating in the competition organized by the UAF for vacant positions of head coaches in women's football was a challenge for me. It is pleasing that my program did not go unnoticed.

— What do you plan to start with?

— In March, I am planning to attend the All-Ukrainian tournament in Vinnytsia, where players born in 2011 will participate. Then I will continue selection work by attending matches of the girls' league. From June 8th to 15th, a training camp for this age group is scheduled. I hope that I will be able to select the most promising ones.

And in September, we are expecting an international test — UEFA Development Tournament. The venue and opponents will be determined in May.
