The second stage of multi-tiered competitions — territorial community championships — has now begun. Starting in spring 2026, school teams will compete for district, regional, and national finals.

The All-Ukrainian "School Ball" Tournament is currently increasing the mass participation of children's football in Ukraine: last season, after their revival, nearly 1,000 teams participated, while in the 2025/2026 season — approximately 3,000 (around 50,000 children).
