After the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, thousands of Ukrainian children were forced to leave their homeland. Among them are young football players who continued pursuing their passion beyond Ukraine's borders. According to previous estimates, there are at least 15,000 such children. There is also a significant number of boys and girls who started playing football after moving, as well as ethnic Ukrainians who lived abroad even before the war.

With the aim of maintaining ties with talented youth and creating conditions for their further development, the Ukrainian Football Association introduced an electronic registry Talents Ukraine. This resource helps coaches and experts to systematize information about young Ukrainian players abroad and maintain contact with them.

The UAF calls on parents, coaches, and all concerned individuals to involve children in the Talents Ukraine platform. This is an important step for preserving the unity of Ukraine's football community and supporting the future of national football.
