It was attended by the Ukrainian team, entered in division C. It included four military personnel who were undergoing rehabilitation after receiving serious injuries as a result of the Russian full-scale military invasion.
At that tournament, our team won victories over Greece (2:1) and Belgium (1:0), and also drew 0:0 with Georgia and Israel. The blue-and-yellows eventually lost to the Georgians on goal difference and were unable to rise to Division B. But Ukraine qualified for the upcoming European Championship.
