Format of the Competition

From the new season, teams will play in an updated format. Sixteen teams will be divided into two leagues:

• First Division — one group, 8 teams;
• Second Division — two groups of 4 teams each, formed according to territorial principles.

Matches of the WU-15 championship will be played in a round-robin format (home and away): The First League plays two rounds, while the Second League plays four rounds.

• First League WU-15: based on the results of 14 rounds, the winner and prize winners will be determined, as well as the team that remains in the first division.
• Second League WU-15: based on the results of the group stage, winners and teams that finish second will advance to the final stage.

Based on the results of the First League WU-15 in the season of 2026/2027, the team that finishes last will be relegated to the Second League for the season of 2027/2028. The team that wins first place in the Second League will earn the right to promote to the First League for the season of 2027/2028.

Matches will be played according to the rules of FIFA and UEFA. Each match will last for 90 minutes with a halftime break of 15 minutes.
