«Due to the security situation, the cities of Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv will not be able to host Cup matches. If the draw identifies teams from these cities as hosts, the matches will be played at the football grounds of the nominal guests. If two teams from these cities are paired together, the decision regarding the venue will be made by the Cup administration», said Bohdan Melnyk, Development Manager of the «League of the Mighty."

«Looking at the bracket, it’s wide open—practically any team has a shot at reaching the semi-finals or the final. We’re going to see high-stakes, competitive football right from the opening round. In particular, a game between Pokrova AMP and Khrestonostsi promises to be a real standout. I wish all the competitors the best of luck. Our players pour their hearts and souls into this game, and they deserve every bit of the thrill that comes with it», said Vitaliy Manko, Development Manager of the «League of the Mighty.

The launch of the Ukrainian Amputee Football Cup is another step in the systematic development of adaptive sports in the country and the expansion of competitive opportunities for players. The tournament will serve as an important platform for improving team performance and preparing for the second Ukrainian Amputee Football Championship.

The 2026 Ukrainian Amputee Football Cup champion will lift the trophy this spring.
