The Ukrainian Electronic Football Association is an organization whose main goal is to develop an interest in virtual sports among Ukrainians, to create competition in the market of digital entertainment and other esports disciplines.
The association began to work in 2019 after UEFA officially announced eEURO 2020, the first European eFootball Championship. The Ukrainian Electronic Football Association is headed by Vladislav Shovkovskiy.
The creation of the association was the result of the high interest of Ukrainians in virtual sports and the rapid popularization of this trend in the country. The organization created the first Ukrainian national cyber football team in the PES discipline. In March 2020, the newly formed national team took third place in the group in the eEURO tournament.
In 2020, the Ukrainian Electronic Football Association became the first esports organization in Ukraine to receive official status. Following the results of the XXIІI Congress of the Ukrainian Football Association, which took place in June, the organization was granted the status of a collective member of the UFA. By the fall, the association's calendar of events was announced. According to it, the launch of the first national cyber football league Esportsbattle League will take place soon. The prize-winner will have the opportunity to play for the Ukrainian national cyber football team.
