The Regional football associations in Ukraine are sports organizations in regions of Ukraine (oblasts and other territories) with membership in the Ukrainian Association of Football.
In 2000, the Football Federation of Ukraine created the Council of Regions for the development of football in the regions throughout the country. It was dissolved in 2010. Later, it was redesigned as the Assembly of the UAF regions.
Description There are 24 active members, while the membership of the other 3 associations in occupied territories is suspended due to the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine. As of 2025, due to open hostilities by the Russian Federation, only 20 regions carry out their own competitions.ФОТО. Весна-осінь чи осінь-весна?

Each region conducts its own championship (top round-robin tournament), while most of them also host the second and third tiers of league competitions. Each region also conducts a regional cup competition (single elimination tournaments) as well as some additional regional tournaments. Along with it, each regional association has several smaller regional associations of its own (raion and city associations). Note that the Sevastopol City Football Federation cooperates with the Crimean Republican Football Federation and often teams from Sevastopol compete in the championship of the peninsula.
Due to the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine, several regions were forced to suspend all sports competition due to war conditions. Following the occupation and annexation of Crimea, the local Republican Crimean Football Federation was taken over by the Russian authorities and, under the UEFA Special Commission mediation, transferred to the Russian Football Union. Later, it was renamed the Crimean Football Union. In 2016 Football Federation of Ukraine revived its own Football Federation of Crimea in Kherson.
Following the occupation of the Eastern Ukraine by the Russian Armed Forces in 2014-2015 under pretense of a separatist movement, football competitions in Luhansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast were conducted under the auspices of the pro-Russian administration (Luhansk People's Republic, Donetsk People's Republic), while in non-occupied territories of the same regions local competitions were resumed in a smaller scale.
