Shevchenko won 93 of 94 votes at its congress, the UAF said. It added Shevchenko was entitled to cast the 94th vote as a delegate but did not do so.
He is Ukraine’s all-time top scorer, with 48 goals in 111 games from 1995 to 2012. He won the Champions League with Milan in 2003 and the Ballon d’Or the following year.
As UAF president, he replaces Andriy Pavelko, who has been in charge since 2015 and is a member of the UEFA executive committee.
