On March 31, the blue-and-yellow team traveled through Poland to Denmark. The Ukrainian players arrived in Kegel, where thanks to the support of the Danish Football Association, they held a short training camp. Today's match against Sweden marks the beginning of our team's battles for qualification to the final stage of Euro-2023.

From the start of the game, the Scandinavian players took control. On the 25th minute, Duras opened the scoring by finishing off a cross from Nielden on the far post, and just before halftime she completed her brace by being first to the rebound.

After halftime, the Swedes extended their lead to a rout. On the 52nd minute, Renberg took advantage of Boklach's mistake coming out from goal, followed by goals from Svedman and Björk. In the end, Ukraine lost with a score of 0-5.

Now Valeriy Palamarchuks' wards await a meeting with the hosts, which will take place on April 8 (kickoff at 15:30 Kyiv time).

In League A, seven groups feature 28 teams, including seven national teams that advanced from the first round of League B. Seven group winners in League A's second round (and the best runner-up if Belgium finishes first) will qualify for the final stage, which will take place from July 18 to 30 in Belgium. Teams finishing fourth in their groups will start the 2023/2024 season in League B.

Teams in League B, including those that were relegated after the autumn stage of League A, compete in seven groups (three with four participants each and four with three) for spots in League A's first round draw next year.

As a reminder, Ukraine's youth women's national team secured third place in their group during the first round and retained their spot in League A.
