The FIFA Council has approved the selection of Andriy Shevchenko, President of the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF), and Kateryna Monzul, Head of the UAF Referees Committee, to join FIFA's Standing Committees.

This decision was made in accordance with an amendment to the FIFA Statutes approved at the 74th FIFA Congress. The amendment calls for restructuring FIFA’s Standing Committees to ensure greater participation of member associations in decision-making processes and to involve more women in these processes.

In line with this procedure, the FIFA Council appointed heads, deputy heads, and members of FIFA's Standing Committees for a four-year term (2025–2029) at its most recent meeting.

As a result, Andriy Shevchenko, President of the UAF, has been appointed as Head of the FIFA Committee on the Future of Football, while Kateryna Monzul, Head of the UAF Referees Committee, has been selected as a member of the FIFA Women’s Football Stakeholders Committee.
