Ukraine at Euro 2024: squad, group, schedule, kits and odds to win

What is Ukraine's highest achievement in the history of European Championships?

The Ukrainian national team has been close to reaching the final stage of the European Championships several times, but the blue-and-yellow team was constantly unlucky in the play-off matches. And the debut happened thanks to the status of the host of the tournament in 2012. Then, as at Euro 2016, the Ukrainians failed to get out of the group stage.

The best result of the blue-and-yellow happened at Euro 2020, when the team was able to reach the quarter-finals, where they laid down their arms in front of the future finalist of the tournament - England.

Who is the head coach of the Ukraine national team?

The head coach of the Ukraine national team is the legend of Ukrainian football, Serhiy Rebrov. As a player, he was part of Valeriy Lobanovskiy's star-studded Dynamo Kyiv team of the late 90s.

As a coach, he was also successful, being so far the last coach to take the Kyiv side to the UEFA Champions League round of 16. Soon he left to work outside Ukraine, namely in Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli, Hungary's Ferencvaros and Al Ain from the UAE.

At the beginning of June 2023, the 50-year-old specialist returned to Ukraine and took over the national team.

How did Ukraine qualify for Euro 2024?

The Ukraine national team, let's be honest, was unlucky with the qualifying group, where the lot predetermined it as the rivals of the reigning European champion and vice-champion. As a result, the blue-and-yellow scored the same number of points with Italy, giving them the second place in the group, and they were forced to fight for a place in the final stage in the play-off matches.

Having beaten Bosnia and Herzegovina (2-1) away and then Iceland at home with a similar score, Rebrov's team qualified for Euro 2024.
