Hryhorii Kozlovskyy also emphasized that the new format of the Pro League has made children’s and youth competitions more interesting, competitive and professional:
“We see real changes – the competitions are becoming more qualitative and, most importantly, aimed at the development of children. This is the result of reforms that are already bearing fruit.”
The systematic work of the Ruh Academy is bearing fruit

A new stage in the development of the Ruh Academy
Earlier, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy presented large-scale plans for the development of the Academy. On his YouTube channel, Ruh TV, he spoke about the construction of a modern football complex in Vynnyky for more than 1,000 children.
The project provides for:
- a full-size indoor arena – the first in western Ukraine;
- hybrid fields according to UEFA standards;
- stands with 1160 seats, integrated directly into the academy building;
- opening a branch of a British school that will combine sports and quality education.
“The Ruh Academy will be unique for Ukraine, both in terms of architecture and content. We are creating not just a football facility, but a space where every child can unleash their potential,” emphasized Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy.
“Ruh is confidently moving to new heights, raising a generation of footballers who will shape the future of Ukrainian sports.
