"Talantikos" is a multi-platform ecosystem of the Ukrainian Football Association (UFA) that unites mass football, education, and modern approaches to child development under one brand. The project not only gives children a festival but also shapes healthy attitudes towards sports, teamwork, and personal growth — which is why it always attracts hundreds of participants in each city.

The children's and youth football festival "Talantikos" is implemented by the Ukrainian Football Association with support from the UFA Foundation. Uzhhorod continued the geography of the project, hosting another bright football event of the new season and once again proving that quality children's football is possible in every region of Ukraine.

Viktor Mykyta, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, visited the festival. His visit was a demonstrative sign that the development of mass children's football and support for the youngest players is an issue that matters at the highest level.

The festival's program was packed as a large-scale children's festival requires: young players successively went through thematic stations where they awaited various challenges: tennis ball games, football darts, "square," dynamic one-on-one and two-on-two matches, three-on-three, and dozens of other game formats. Each activity gave the children an opportunity to showcase their technique, quick thinking, and ability to interact with teammates — while also enjoying real pleasure from playing.

The involvement of adults was also a notable part of the event. Parents and coaches who had attended the project seminar beforehand joined the children on the playgrounds — together they tackled challenges and supported young footballers. It is precisely this shared energy that forms the special value of "Talantikos": here, football becomes a family affair and a joint journey.

The project awaits new cities and participants who will enrich the large community of "Talantikos."
