Berdychiv enriched the geography of the children's and youth football festival "Talantikos" by hosting a vibrant football celebration that brought together children, parents, and coaches around the game. This event was special for the project as Berdychiv became the second city to welcome "Talantikos," proving once again that quality children's football is possible in every corner of Ukraine.

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

Young players took turns visiting thematic stations where they were greeted with a variety of challenges: tennis ball games, football darts, "square," dynamic one-on-one and two-on-two matches, three-on-three games, and dozens of other formats. Each activity gave children the opportunity to showcase their technique, quick thinking, and teamwork skills — while also enjoying real satisfaction from playing.

The involvement of adults was no less noticeable. Parents and coaches who had attended a seminar the day before joined the children directly on the fields — together they completed challenges and supported young footballers. It is precisely this shared energy that forms the unique value of "Talantikos": here, football becomes a family affair and a joint journey.

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