Exactly one year ago, on January 25, 2024, during the XXVI Congress of the Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF), Andriy Shevchenko was elected as the president of the UAF following a vote by the delegates. Out of 94 delegates, 93 voted in his favor (Andriy Shevchenko, who was also a delegate, abstained from voting).

"Today, January 25, marks one year since the UAF Congress entrusted me with the position of President of the Ukrainian Association of Football. This has been a year of significant decisions and challenges. I am proud to have the opportunity to work for Ukraine, especially during such a difficult time.

I sincerely thank our military, who heroically defend our country and allow us to continue working. I am also grateful to everyone who supports the initiatives of my team because only together can we shape the future of Ukrainian football. We are not stopping and will continue to work for Ukraine!" said Andriy Shevchenko.

It is worth noting that on February 11, a press conference will take place at the House of Football, dedicated to the first year of activity by the new UAF leadership under Andriy Shevchenko.

The event is organized to present the results of implementing Andriy Shevchenko’s program, 9 Steps for the Development of Ukrainian Football. Media representatives will have the opportunity to ask questions. The exact time will be announced later.
