The final of the children’s competition ‘Who’s First? Autumn 2026’, which was due to take place on 19–20 September in Kyiv, has been cancelled due to Russian aggression and ongoing attacks on the capital.
On 7 September, the Kyiv Defence Council decided to temporarily ban mass events in the capital due to the deteriorating security situation.
Thank you all for taking part in the online qualifiers, for your efforts and for preparing for the competition.
We’ll stay in touch, let’s look after one another, and see you at the starting line in 2027!
