Showcasing Ukrainian football on a global stage

The people of Ukraine have had to show great strength, resilience and courage in the face of unprecedented challenges caused by the war since 2022.

And it’s no different in the country’s professional football system.

The war has made recruiting players, and showcasing their best talents, transfer strategies and club visions a huge challenge.

But now many Ukrainian Premier League clubs are rebuilding their international transfer strategies and growing their reputation on the global stage, and in doing so showing why it’s an exciting and safe competition for top players to play in.

Four of those Ukrainian Premier League clubs - FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rig, Karpaty Lviv, NK Veres Rivne and FC Polissya Zhytomyr - are doing so with the help of TransferRoom, after joining the platform in 2024.

TransferRoom is football’s only transfer marketplace and provides direct access to the decision-makers and real-time market intelligence from over 800 clubs and 550 verified Trusted Agencies in 128 leagues worldwide.

Through TransferRoom’s online platform and in-person events, including November 2024’s TransferRoom Summit in Istanbul that was attended by all four Ukrainian clubs, they can connect with the right people directly and showcase why international players should join their teams.

Why four Ukrainian clubs joined TransferRoom

“The last three years we’ve had the war but we are strong,” Volodymyr Baienko, the Sporting Director of Kryvbas Kryvyi Rig, says in the video above. “It's an important time to say that we have a good championship, and to show our clubs and country.

“TransferRoom is the whole world in just one programme. TransferRoom is not only about transfers. It’s the connection between the clubs.”

Anatoliy Volkov, the Chief Scout at FC Polissya, adds: “We still have football, we have enough young and talented players. We have a strategy of development. It is important for us to explain this to other participants.

“TransferRoom is a direct opportunity to make contact with sellers and buyers without any problems. Here I can have meetings with many clubs and agencies and so on. It's a faster and easier way for us to make deals.”

On TransferRoom’s digital platform, football club and agency executives can not only contact decision-makers instantly.

They can see real-time player availability, club requirements and utilise industry-leading data to accelerate their success in the transfer market.
