🇺🇦 | A unique experience for our players

As part of their Turing Scheme trip to Cyprus, the group were put through their paces by the former Ukraine U21 coach, now part of the technical team at Pafos FC.

It was a unique opportunity for them to experience how a top European coach delivers their sessions and to gain insight into the methodology behind Pafos FC’s success in developing talent.

Trips like this give our players a true window into the professional game.
