UAF President Andriy Shevchenko addressed the players of the Ukrainian national team after the 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Iceland.
Andriy Shevchenko«This is the story of Ukraine. Not just your match. War, people are very hard. Believe me, you gave more today for them than any positive news because they were waiting for this.
I fully agree with Serhiy Stanislavovych: attending the national team should now be evaluated completely differently for you. This is history. Today we are all building the future history of Ukraine together, and each of us has our direction. Today you did what the whole country expected from you.
I really liked your mood. Today there was a team that went on the field and wanted to give joy to people. Well done. Now we focus already on the future,» said Shevchenko.
