Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) approved the Bandera slogans "Glory to Ukraine!"and" Glory to the Heroes!» as the official football symbols of Ukraine.
About it 11 June, the president of the UAF announced on his Facebook Andrey Pavelko. According to him, the corresponding decision was made by the executive committee of the association. All voted unanimously in support of the initiative. 45 members of the executive committee.
The meeting also approved the use of small and large coats of arms of Ukraine on the uniform of the national team., as well as images of a map of the country with Crimea and the territories of the LDNR.
According to Pavelko, now these coats of arms and slogans can be used at all official UAF events and at matches involving the national team.
"Unique national football code, which contains these attributes, united all Ukrainians from different regions of Ukraine and our countrymen from different countries and continents. We are obliged and it is a great honor for us to protect and fill with new forces of unity! Congratulations to all football Ukraine on this historic decision!"- the President of the UAF proudly recited.
note, that the announcement of Bandera's ideology as "unifying" for all Ukrainians looks at least strange. After all, it was because of her that the persecution of everything Russian began in the country., Crimea was lost and a civil war began in the Donbass.
It also remains unclear, will the Ukrainian football team take part in the European Championship. After all, UEFA banned the use of the second part of the Bandera slogan “Glory to the Heroes!», ordering to remove it from the shirts of the Ukrainian national team.
As reported EADaily, placing the Bandera slogan on T-shirts, UAF has already framed UEFA, who constantly opposes the politicization of football. Now the situation is even more complicated., and in Kyiv they are clearly counting on, that UEFA will reconsider its decision.
Recall, that the Euro 2020 football championship, transferred to 2021 year due to the coronavirus pandemic, will pass with 11 June 11 July.
