CS-2024 futsal. The Ukraine national team will learn their opponents in the elite round of qualification on July 5

The wards of Oleksandr Kosenko have completed their performance in the main round of qualification for the 2024 FIFA World Cup of Futsal. (Note: There seems to be a slight discrepancy as the original text mentions "futsal" but refers to it within the context of a "FIFA World Cup," which typically pertains to football/soccer rather than futsal. However, I have maintained the original wording.)
