The "Talantikos" children's and youth football festival is held under the auspices of the Ukrainian Football Association with support from the UAF Foundation. Rivne has joined the list of cities hosting this season’s football celebration for both children and adults.

"Talantikos" is a multi-platform ecosystem of the UAF that combines mass football, educational components and contemporary views on child development.

The day was packed with events. Over two hundred participants went through themed stations with various challenges: tennis ball games, football darts, "square," speed duels in formats 1x1, 2x2 and 3x3, and dozens of other gaming activities. At each station, children had the opportunity to showcase their technique, agility, and teamwork skills.

The involvement of adults added a special atmosphere to the event. Parents and coaches who attended the project seminar the previous day did not just observe from the sidelines but became full participants in the activities — together with children, they completed challenges and found out who was stronger on the football field. It is precisely this unity between older and younger generations that sets "Talantikos" apart: here, enthusiasm for football unites entire families and mentors around a common cause.

Upcoming on the project are new cities in Ukraine that will join the large "Talantikos" community.
