FIFA president Gianni Infantino met with UAF president Andriy Shevchenko on the eve of the organisation's Congress, which will be held these days in Paris.
"It was a pleasure to meet Andriy Shevchenko again, this time after his election as President of the Ukrainian Football Association.
As a player, Shevchenko inspired a nation and as UAF president, I am convinced he will do the same.
Ukrainian football, while going through a difficult period recently, has maintained an impressive momentum. And thanks to his energy, Shevchenko will give the beautiful game in his country an additional impetus. And we are here to support their continued growth on and off the pitch," Infantino wrote on his Instagram page, attaching the above photo with Shevchenko.
