In the UEFA Youth League season 2022/2023, Lviv's "Rukh" is participating among U-19 teams. The team became the first to qualify for the previous round of the Ukrainian championship. It should be noted that this marks the debut of the yellow-and-black in European competitions.

In the preliminary round of the Champions Path, Vitaliy Ponomaryov's wards faced Polish club "Zaglembie". Due to Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, "Rukh" was forced to play their home match in Lublin on the opponent's field.

The Lvivians managed to win — 1:0. The only goal came from Nepiepieiev at the 24th minute. However, almost the entire second half, the Ukrainian team played a man down.

The return match will also take place in Lublin on October 5.
