Head coach of the Ukrainian national futsal team Oleksandr Kosenko commented on the upcoming friendly matches against Portugal.

“Portugal is a team that clearly plays itself, but does not allow others to lose. More organized, balanced, which makes it a very difficult opponent. It won't be easy for us. Ale is so good - why are we playing with such a team?. It is worth checking yourself before the European Championship - both the team and the skin of the skin. I respect that there will be even more intense sparrings.

Judging by the way the French were getting used to it, the game was even more competitive. It was clear that the stench had already been eliminated in the house. And so Portugal itself - and not because the stink lost to us. This is what you need to do for your skin. We are not surprised at this - we are ready and want to polish our game both in defense and in attack. We will try different breeding of gravels and carry out two games from the crust.

There is no jitters before Euro 2026. So, it’s clear that the European Championship is already approaching, but let’s just hang on?

You need to get ready – you’ll have a lot of fun before the matches. Now you need to train, get ready, so that you are ready at 100%,” the AFU press service quotes Kosenko as saying..

It is expected that the matches between the national teams of Ukraine and Portugal will take place on the 19th and 21st. The grievances will arise at 21:45.

Previously, it was reported that the UAF had joined the UEFA due to the participation of Belarus in Euro 2026 from futsal.
