Became famous starting lineup of the Ukrainian national team for the match against Italy in the final, 10th round of the qualifying round European Championship 2024.
From the first minutes, defenders Alexander Svatok and Efim Konoplya will start for the blue-yellows. Also in the starting lineup will be a duo from Girona – midfielder Viktor Tsygankov and forward Artem Dovbik.
Let us remind you that defenders Alexander Karavaev and Maxim Taloverov, as well as midfielder Egor Nazarina, were left out of the application.

The Ukraine-Italy match will take place in Leverkusen, starting at 21:45 Kyiv time. The fight is expected to be sold out – about 30 thousand fans. The main referee of the meeting is Spaniard Jesus Gil Manzano.
The national teams of Italy and Ukraine have 13 points each, while the Italians have an advantage in personal meetings – winning the first match 2:1.
If Sergei Rebrov’s team fails to beat Italy and qualify for the Euro directly from second place in their group, they will have a backup option – the Nations League playoffs. Rebrov’s team will be waiting for the “final four” of division A or division B.
