In various areas of Ukraine is now an active work on the construction and reconstruction of mini-grounds for football.

Within the budgetary target program for these needs in the current year was provided 270 million UAH. Local budgets were also actively involved in financing the project. Therefore, by the end of the year hundreds of new football fields will be built across the country.

"The Football Federation welcomes such a policy of the state, after all, the creation of football infrastructure is the main foundation for the development of youth football and physical education of Ukrainian youth. The accessibility of the game of football must be a maximum. Every child should be able to play football without hindrance and free of charge. Ukrainian football will develop at a rapid pace and full scale only if it becomes popular, and therefore - accessible from childhood "- said the first vice-president of the FFU Oleg Protasov in conversation with journalists of the official website of the Federation.

In the capital, now work on the construction of more than 50 new football fields, most of which must be earned with the beginning of the new school year, that is, on September 1.

Recall that the Football Federation of Ukraine determined its goal to implement a very ambitious "Marshall Plan", which provides for the emergence in Ukraine of about 2500 new football grounds by 2020, as well as 50 more stadiums.

"And we are confidently moving toward realizing this goal. If, for example, before 2014, 768 football pitches were built, then from 2014 to 2018 more than 720 objects of football infrastructure (in particular, eight stadiums) have been built,. Now at the construction stage there are about 800 objects, "added Protasov.
