Our Mission

Football camps are a core part of our ministry and of the Christian Football Union of Ukraine. Since 2008, thousands of children have gone through our programs. Our camps are focused on growth and development—both in football skills and in spiritual life.

Many boys dream of becoming professional players. When we provide a high-quality training program that meets their skill level, we earn the right to speak into their lives. We are no longer just coaches, but mentors who genuinely care about their growth in every area of life. This creates a powerful opportunity to reach and disciple the next generation.

Very often, football camps become a turning point for spiritual growth. They also serve as a starting point for new ministries and football clubs in communities where none existed before. Camps are always joyful, impactful, and a meaningful reward for children who participate.

We run our camps intentionally in order to:

• Strengthen local churches and ministries
• Help establish new football clubs or outreach ministries
• Equip and develop young coaches and assistants for full-time ministry

Summer 2025
God allowed us to help organize 16 soccer camps in Ukraine, serving 886 children. It was a great blessing to see how football opened doors to hope and encouragement for kids facing extremely difficult realities—parents fighting in the war (or lost), nights in bomb shelters, isolation, and limited social interaction due to online schooling.

Summer 2024
We ran 17 camps in Ukraine, serving 806 children, with 125 coaches and leaders ministering during the war. In addition, we organized 6 camps in the USA, where 183 children experienced soccer, joy, and learned about a loving Father.

Summer 2023
We organized 4 camps in Europe and supported 19 camps in Ukraine. In total, 1,173 children participated, with 177 coaches and volunteers serving them.

Summer 2022
We organized 4 camps in Europe and supported 19 day camps in Ukraine, providing program structure, equipment, and financial support. 1,050 children participated, served by 100+ coaches and volunteers, receiving not only physical activity and fun but also a message of hope during the war.
