The victory in the friendly match against Estonia (1:0) was commented on by Olha Ovdiychuk, an attacker for Ukraine's women's national team and scorer of the winning goal.
"It’s good that we started this year with a win. We haven't played or gathered together in a long time; this is our first training session. A victory is a great start."
The coaching staff pointed out all the potential mistakes Estonia could make, which we could exploit. We managed to do so in some cases and not in others. I'll repeat, it was our first game, it was difficult to score...
Now we are waiting for the draw of the Women's Nations League. After that, there will be training sessions, preparing for each opponent with the aim of winning," — said Olha Ovdiychuk.
We remind you that the first-ever Women’s Nations League draw will take place on May 2nd. The composition of the leagues and rankings before the draw will be determined by the current UEFA women's national team ranking. Currently, Ukraine is ranked 22nd, which means they are set to enter League C.
In 2023, participants in the Nations League are scheduled for six game windows: September 20-22 and 23-26, October 25-27 and 28-31, November 29 - December 1, and December 2-5.
