Економіка юнацького спорту: Скільки коштує шлях до титулу у 2026 році? Коли ми бачимо фотографії щасливих призерів із кубками та медалями, ми рідко замислюємося над тим, який «фінансовий гросмейстерський план» довелося реалізувати їхнім батькам, щоб ця поїздка взагалі відбулася. Ми вирішили розібрати середній кошторис участі в офіційному юнацькому чемпіонаті України, спираючись на типові регламенти змагань та реалії сьогодення.
