UAF President Andriy Shevchenko said in an interview with the Italian publication La Stampa about the conditions under which the association continues to develop Ukrainian football.
Andriy ShevchenkoJournalists from the Italian newspaper visited Kyiv to personally see the training center of the capital’s Lokomotiv, which was destroyed as a result of a Russian bombardment.
"Ukraine, which has been living in a state of full-scale war for three years now, continues to demonstrate incredible resilience. Football becomes a kind of counterbalance to anxieties — a symbol of strength that encourages people to move forward. It is at the same time a way of emotional unloading, a path to rehabilitation, and a source of energy," La Stampa quotes Shevchenko as saying.
