A Landmark 2025/26 Season

The 2025/26 season will go down in Polissya's history books thanks to their UPL bronze medals and qualification for European tournaments. Led by head coach Ruslan Rotan, the team will continue their journey in July when the qualifying rounds for the UEFA Conference League begin.
