Andriy Shevchenko: "The main task for the national team of Ukraine is to reach the 2026 World Cup"

UAF President Andriy Shevchenko has once again expressed his full support for the head coach of the Ukrainian national team Serhiy Rebrov.

"I would like to once again express full support from myself and the entire EBA to the head coach of the Ukrainian national team and his staff. We know where we are and where we are going. We know about our mistakes and what we need to do to avoid repeating them. The main thing is that we have gained experience. Now we need to react properly.

Now I would like to name the next tasks for the national team. The qualifying period for the 2026 World Cup begins in September. The main task for the national team of Ukraine is to reach the final part of the 2026 World Cup. It doesn't matter whether it's through the League of Nations or the qualifying cycle, the main thing is to get to the World Cup.

Another piece of news: we will be reforming the scouting and analytics departments. We want to improve the quality, and we will work hard on it," Shevchenko said during a meeting with journalists.
