The sports director of Kyiv’s “Obolon” Oleg Mazurenko believes it is necessary to revive the championship among youth (U-21) teams of the UPL clubs.

It will also be beneficial for the young players to play with the first team footballers, who will have the opportunity to get practice or regain their form after injuries. This is great. Not everyone at a young age is mentally and physically ready to compete with the older guys,” - quotes Mazurenko “Ukrainian Football”.
