I sincerely congratulate the newly elected chairman! I would like to especially note his professional approach and respectful attitude towards our football veterans. If we aspire to build a happy future, we must always remember and honor our past.
We have an important task ahead - to create conditions so that all who want to engage in football have equal opportunities. I am confident that with the new team in Odesa we will elevate the region's football to a new level. Constant support is guaranteed by the Ukrainian Football Association," emphasized UAF President Andriy Shevchenko.
