SYMBOLISM ABOVE SPORT
Most of the participants in the championship have military backgrounds – they lost their endings, defending Ukraine on the battlefield. That is why this tournament – symbolizes the return to active life for thousands of veterans and veteran women.
UAFA develops a full-fledged football league structure in amp football even during a full-scale war, which is not going unnoticed abroad.
Ukraine has already become one of the most active countries in Europe in the development of amp football.
