Starting in 2016 “Zaporizhstal” works sent 24 million UAH for the development of the Children’s and Youth Sports School “Metallurg”. On January 25, at the ceremonial summing up of the sports season of 2018, “Zaporizhstal” works presented a certificate at the amount of 3.7 million UAH for the reconstruction of the football field to the CYSS “Metallurg”. These funds were allocated by the plant in addition to funding in the amount of 8.5 million UAH in 2019.

For three years of partnership with “Zaporizhstal”, the CYSS “Metallurg” has reached a qualitatively new level in the preparation of young football players. Among the main achievements of the young “metallurgs” over the last few years are regular participation in the final stages of the junior football league of Ukraine, prizes at the city and all-Ukrainian championships. High results allowed the CYSS “Metallurg” to enter the top three best football academies in Ukraine.

The selection in the CYSS “Metallurg” is held on a competitive basis. An important selection criterion is not only the physical training and abilities of the child, but also success in school. Trainings are conducted throughout the year by professional trainers using a specially developed technique. Now, more than 1400 children aged from 5 to 17 years are studying at the CYSS “Metallurg”.
