Results of the 2024 year for the U-19/20 national team of Ukraine

In February 2024, changes among the coaches of Ukraine’s youth national teams were announced. They also affected the team composed of players born in 2005.

From its very first day, it was led by Oleg Kuznetsov, under whom the team passed the qualifying round for the Euro-2024 U-19, but in March 2024, the squad was completed by Dmytro Mykhailenko for the elite round of qualification.

It turned out remarkably well — three victories in three matches with a total score of 8:0, thanks to which Ukraine reached the final tournament of Euro-2024 U-19.

At the end of April, a short home training camp took place, during which the coaching staff reviewed the closest reserves of the team. During the camp, a friendly match was held with “Dіnaz” (0:0).

The performance of the U-19 team of Ukraine began with two scoreless draws in July at the European Championship, and in the last round of the group stage, a victory was necessary, namely — against Italy. However, this task was accomplished by Mykhailenko's team to the fullest, reaching the semi-finals (the fifth occurrence in the history of our U-19 teams), and at the same time earning a spot at the U-20 World Cup, which will take place in Chile in 2025 (also the fifth occurrence in our history).

And the goalkeeper Vladyslav Krapyvtsov, who recently signed a contract with Spanish “Girona,” and in the spring represented “Dnipro-1,” entered the symbolic team of Euro-2024 U-19.
