The "Talentikos" children's and youth football festival was organized by the Ukrainian Football Association with support from the UAF Foundation. The Chernivtsi event became the second event of the new season — the Bukovyna capital received the baton of bright football celebrations from Lviv, where the project took place a few weeks ago.

"Talentikos" is a multi-platform ecosystem of the Ukrainian Football Association that brings together mass football, education, and modern approaches to child development under one brand.

The day's program was packed from start to finish. Young players tested themselves in bright challenges at themed stations: tennis ball games, football darts, "square," dynamic 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 matches, and countless other activities where everyone could showcase their skills, speed, and team spirit.

A special highlight of the festival was the active participation of parents. They did not stay on the sidelines but joined challenges and activities alongside their children, becoming an integral part of the celebration. It is precisely this synergy between generations that makes "Talentikos" truly unique — here, a child's sporting journey becomes a shared path for the entire family.

The project is looking forward to expanding its geographical reach — new cities and participants who will become part of the large "Talentikos" family.
