We meet this year in times of unprecedented trials, when Ukraine heroically repels the black onslaught of the Russian Federation, choosing the right to freedom, independence, and its own future. In these days, every step we take, every match, and every training session is only possible thanks to the bravery and self-sacrifice of Ukrainian Defence Forces. It is precisely thanks to our defenders and defenders that we are able to live, work, support each other, and develop Ukrainian football even in wartime conditions. Football today — it is not just a game, but also a symbol of unity, resilience, and faith in victory.

In the new year, we wish all Ukrainians peace, strength, and unbreakable faith. May there be warmth in every home, hope in hearts, and certainty about tomorrow in our thoughts. And to the football community of Ukraine, we wish further development, new achievements, and brilliant victories that will bring joy to our entire people.

Together — to victory! Together — for Ukraine! Happy New Year!
