The president National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine Vadim Gutzeit expressed hope that Ukrainian clubs will release all players Olympic team of Ukraine at the 2024 Games in Paris.
“I always expect our athletes to win. We have a young and ambitious team. The only problem is that the Olympics take place at a time when their clubs might need the players. At the same time, they can qualify for European competitions.”
“Let’s hope that everyone will be released. I understand that the Olympic Games are not a football competition, but in times of war it is important that we show our strength at the Olympics. I want club presidents to understand the political component of this issue. We believe that they will come in full strength and demonstrate their best game.”
Let us remind you that in the summer of 2024 Ukraine will take part in the Olympic football tournament for the first time. Ruslan Rotan’s team won a ticket to Paris last year, reaching the semi-finals of the European Youth Championship.
The Ukrainian national team will play at the 2024 Olympics with Argentina, Morocco and Iraq. In the first round, Rotan’s team will meet the Asian team on July 24.
