An interesting innovation will be in the next season of the Ukrainian championship (U-19), reports the Telegram channel “Come on, play”.
“An innovation is planned for the next season in the U-19 Ukrainian championship, where the First League will now be added, and teams can be relegated and promoted.
UPL teams are also required to have an U-19 team, while others can enter if they wish (and many are willing). One such club is “Metalist”, which plans to enter mainly its 2008 class, and players born in 2009 or 2010, or someone from the main team who will have insufficient playing time, can also play there.
There are also ideas to return U-21 starting from the 2026/2027 season, but so far, as a voluntary format, so everything regarding this is still unclear,” the message states.
