President of the Ukrainian Football Association Andriy Shevchenko shared the goals that the Ukrainian national team faces before the final qualifying matches for the World Cup.

How important is it for Ukraine to qualify for the World Cup

- This is very important. Firstly, we must represent our country on the international stage, and also remind the world about Ukraine. Secondly, this is a great sporting achievement. We reached the World Cup only once - in 2006, when we lost to Italy at the quarter-final stage.

Now we need to repeat this success. This will be a victory not only for the players, but also for the entire football community, because such results push the development of the sport.

This goal is linked to the result against France?

- The match with France is always a challenge of the highest level. We have two decisive matches ahead, which will give us a chance to either directly qualify or reach the playoffs.

Let us remind you that on November 13 there will be a meeting against France.

Earlier, the Ukrainian goalkeeper spoke about his mood for meetings with France and Iceland.

It was also reported that the Ukrainian team arrived in the French capital for the 2026 World Cup qualifying match.
