• "Our ongoing work at the FFU will be as transparent as it can be. We will give opportunities to our regional associations and other bodies to take part in making decisions," said the 39-year-old after being elected as FFU president in March 2015. "We are turning a new page in the history of Ukrainian football. We need to make some reforms, and we have to start right away. I emphasised UEFA's 11 key values in my pre-election programme, and these values have to become fundamental for our activities, and those of our regional federations and other members of our team." Pavelo was re-elected for a five-year term in June 2017.
