The academy of the Ruh football club continues to confirm its status as the leader of youth football in Ukraine. Two age categories at once – Ruh U-16 and Ruh U-14 – won gold medals ahead of schedule in the Pro League of the reformed youth championship.
The founder of the Yellow and Blacks, Hryhoriy Kozlovsky, noted the high level of training of the young players and emphasized the importance of their contribution to the future of Ukrainian sports.
Stability and maturity of U-16
The Ruh U-16 team (players born in 2010), coached by Nazar Savytskyi and Serhii Khyzhyi, became the strongest in Ukraine for the second time in a row. Hryhoriy Kozlovsky noted that this success is a natural result of systematic work.
“The season is not yet over, and the students of the Ruh Academy have already won two sets of gold medals! The boys of 2010 confirmed their championship status, becoming the strongest Academy in Ukraine for the second year in a row. “Ruh U-16 pleased us not only with great results, but also with an interesting and mature game,” the founder of the Academy emphasized.
He also noted the individual progress of the players, including Oleg Dzyurynets, who became the youngest debutant in the history of the UPL. According to Hryhorii Kozlovskyi, this team is the foundation for the youth national team of Ukraine, which has eight team members called up for the upcoming matches.
The character and debut gold of U-14
For the youngest champions in the U-14 category (born in 2012), the path to the title was not easy, as they only made their debut at the national level. Despite the difficult start, coaches Andriy Dankiv and Ihor Duts managed to bring the team to the peak of their form.
Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy emphasized that these medals are primarily a victory of character: “These gold medals in the NLM Pro League are not only about successful results, but also about titanic work and fighting spirit. You’ve made a good start, and now you have to keep up the pace! Only daily work and self-improvement will make you professional football players.”
Working for the benefit of Ukrainian football
Next up are the decisive matches for the U-15 and U-17 teams, which are also competing for prizes. However, the main task of the Academy remains to educate professionals capable of competing at the global level.
“We work not only for the benefit of Ruh, but also for the benefit of the entire national football and we are proud that such personnel represent us at the highest level. Gold awards, victories in international tournaments, successful duels with world-class giants – all this proves once again that nothing is impossible for you!” summarized Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy.
Hryhoriy Kozlovsky and the Ruh Academy have once again proved that systematic investments in infrastructure and coaching staff make it possible to raise champions who are ready for the challenges of adult football today.
Earlier, the Ruh U-16 team won a resounding victory over Bayern Munich. The academy under the leadership of Hryhorii Kozlovskyi demonstrates rapid development and confidently asserts itself in Europe.
