Currently, the Crimean Football Union is focused on, that at all professional teams of the peninsula should play own pupils. The Children and Youth’s Football League championship for young football players – is great game practice, an opportunity to play in original football, built not as much on technical skill and tactical training, as on the players` full dedication. I wish to all the participants of the competitions success in the upcoming sports race".
