The Euro 2024 Ukraine team has at least one spectacular player in every position. Some positions are even more advanced, as Rebrov can also count on substitutions.

Latest News

The aftermath of the successful qualifiers for Ukraine had an interesting friendly game with Germany. The hosts of the upcoming tournament welcomed the Blue-Yellows at Nurnberg. The match had sparks here and there but ended with no goals scored. Anyhow, this came in handy as a warmup for the final tournament.

Tactical Analysis

The solid defence and frequent counter attacks are the primary elements Rebrov bases this team’s tactics on. Moreover, the coach carefully set the number of players in each line to suit this plan.

Playing Style and Formation

The 4-2-3-1 formation is what paved the way for the Ukrainians to implement their tactics. Mykolenko, Konoplya, Matviyenko, and Zabarnyi will be the floodbank for other strikers’ storms.

As mentioned, Zinchenko and Mudryk will both have special tasks here. Together with Malinovskyi, Zinchenko will be the double pivot in the middle. Mudryk will be the left wing, with Tsyhankov on the right and Sudakov playing as the 10. Girona’s forward, Dovbyk, will be the one to put the ball behind the goalkeeper’s back.

Team History

If we consider other teams and associations, the official Ukrainian team and association haven’t been around for very long. Still, they’ve done more than some teams that have existed for many more years.

Overview

In its relatively short history, fans could witness one era of Ukrainian football. It’s not really an era many football lovers refer to, but we like to call it the Andriy Shevchenko era. Nowadays, everyone hopes for a new era that will be even more passionate and exciting than the first one.

Achievements and Honours

Having started to play independently, Ukraine once leapt into the World Cup quarterfinals in 2006. The Blue-Yellows tied this record at the last Euro. Another piece of information worth mentioning here is that this is the fourth consecutive Euro tournament for the Ukrainians.
