Secretary General of the UAF Igor Hryshchenko shared his expectations from the June matches of the national football team of Ukraine in Germany:
"On 1 June, I go to Nuremberg, where Serhiy Rebrov's wards will play one of the last control matches before the final part of the European Championship with the Germans on 3 June.
There are reasons to hope that there will be a full house on Monday. Just like at the matches against Romania, Slovakia and Belgium at Euro 2024. All those tickets, which were allocated by UEFA for Ukrainian fans, have long ago found their happy owners, the same can be said about the fans of the opponents.
I am sure that our fans even made efforts to buy tickets for other quotas. That's why we can safely say that in Germany the Ukrainian national team support of the 12th player is guaranteed".

Shakhtar and Ukraine national team players Yefim Konoplya and Georgiy Sudakov have revealed that the Donetsk team are no longer staying at the Emily Resort hotel in Vinniki.
- Are you looking forward to Euro 2024?
- I'm wondering if the England national team gets to the Euros the same way we do. Or not.
- This time you are travelling by train, because you usually come from Lviv.
- Who was it that said we got kicked out of the Emily Resort? Gypsy? No, Wacko. Vatsko said that we were kicked out of Emily, so we have to go from Kiev.
- Can we disprove those rumours? You didn't get kicked out of Emily?
- Yes, we were. They said on the Internet that we were kicked out. So, yes," Konoplya said.
"To be honest, I don't know. I haven't been to Emily in a while. No one from our team lives there anymore," Sudakov added.

Famous Slovakian coach Ladislav Molnar is pessimistic about the attacking potential of the Slovak national team at Euro-2024 in the conditions that the national team's bid for the upcoming tournament did not include forwards Robert Mack and Aleksandar Čavric.
"I can't imagine who will lead the Slovakia national team's attack at Euro 2024 in the absence of Mack and Čavric. Polijevka has now just completed a long recovery from injury and it is difficult to say what condition he will be in. Bozhenik's performances are unstable: he can suddenly "explode" with a goal, and then for a long time he is not seen at all. In such a situation, not to attract Chavric and Mack to Euro 2024 is too great a luxury", - Sport24 quoted Molnar as saying.
We shall remind you that Slovakia, along with Belgium and Romania, is Ukraine's opponent in the Euro 2024 group.

English Everton and Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana makes no secret of the fact that he is counting on a major transfer at the expense of Euro 2024.
"At previous major national team tournaments, everyone has seen that players who have shown good results there invariably end up at top clubs. That's what I'm aiming for. I want to present myself in the best possible way at Euro 2024 and show what I can offer to potential challenger teams. So this European Championship is a separate stage in my professional career", - quotes Onana Het Laatste Nieuws.
We will remind, Belgium along with Romania and Slovakia is the rival of the national team of Ukraine in the group of Euro-2024.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marco Royce has spoken about what the Dortmund club means to him.
"Borussia Dortmund means everything to me. 12 years at the club must mean something. You don't just stay at a club for the name or the money. You have to feel comfortable, be in a good environment and have great teammates.
The fans also play a huge role. To leave is to know that you won't find the same thing anywhere else, so you think twice or three times before making that decision.
It's largely thanks to the fans that I've stayed here for so long, but also because I've always felt welcome here - that's an important factor," Royce was quoted as saying by the UEFA official website.
