Head coach of the Ukrainian national futsal team Oleksandr Kosenko commented on the results of the draw for the 2026 European Championship. Please visit the official website of the AFU.
" I will say this, there are no easy commands at all. Friendly games were played - both with Lithuania and with the Czech Republic - there were very difficult matches. Zbirna Virmenia also showed that she is a serious rival.
Everyone will be getting ready, and our opponents will be even more focused on us after the World Championships. That’s why we need to prepare very seriously. We don't expect easy matches. We expect to be very serious against other teams, so we will be diligently preparing,” Kosenko said..
The European Futsal Championship will be held in Latvia, Lithuania and Slovenia from 21 June to 7 February 2026. The Ukrainian team has been reduced to group B, where Lithuania, the Czech Republic and Virmenia will compete.
