Зарплата Шевченко в УАФ превышает доход Трампа: детали в видео.

Famous Ukrainian sports journalist and blogger Igor Burbas has reached out to the president of the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) Andriy Shevchenko, requesting the publication of the salaries of the organization's top management. Notably, "Sheva" has been leading Ukrainian football for a year now.

Burbas made the corresponding statement on his YouTube channel. He also mentioned that, according to rumors, Shevchenko earns around 50 thousand dollars (over 2 million UAH) per month.

Burbas pointed out that, to his knowledge, only two leaders of Ukrainian football have received salaries in the history of Ukraine: Anatoliy Konkov, who passed away in 2024, and Shevchenko. The journalist also compared Sheva's salary to that of the newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump, who reportedly earns about 33 thousand dollars a month, according to media reports.

"Is it true that Andriy Shevchenko's monthly salary as the head of UAF and the national teams committee is around 50 thousand dollars? If this is true, then congratulations. You are the highest-paid UAF leader in history. And with this, you will definitely go down in history", — stated Burbas.

Previously, former Dynamo midfielder Aleksandr Andriyevsky accused Burbas of slander. The day before, the insider claimed that the midfielder had deceived the president of the White-Blues, Igor Surkis.
