Head coach of the Ukrainian national team U-19 Dmytro Mikhailenko assessed the results of the elite round draw for the Euro 2026 selection.

" It’s bad and good, it’s difficult to say, everything will be visible after the end of the elite round. This fact increases the chances of reaching the final part of the European Championship for all teams.

Possibly, Rumunia will be the favorite to take over, as it will be the ruler of the future cities. Also, I would not write off the rahunki and the election to Kazakhstan, as it is progressing. Praises that this supernik will continue to fight. It won’t be easy for Northern Ireland, since the British teams will always fight from the first to the last,” the UAF press service quotes Mikhailenko as saying..

Guess what, Ukraine is playing in the same group against Romania, Kazakhstan and Northern Ireland. The matches will take place from 23 to 31 February 2026.
