“Over the past few years, the RFU has been actively working on the development of women's football.
In 2019, the first development program in our history was adopted.
This is a comprehensive document in which we set ourselves ambitious tasks in a number of areas: from increasing the mass participation and training the sports reserve to developing club competitions and strengthening the institution of national teams.
Work is also underway to popularize women's football in general, "Suchkova said in an interview with RT.
She also added that the systematic implementation of this program is already yielding first results.
“During this year alone, more than two thousand children began to engage in projects of the RFU and in sports schools, which receive financial and methodological support from us.
A vertical line of elite youth competitions has been built - UFL girls and the Youth League, which are steps to professional football, "added Suchkova.
Earlier, Čeferin called the cancellation of the Super League a major victory for UEFA in 2021.
