Reminder, according to the draw results of the first round of qualification for Euro-2025 (WU-19), the team coached by Natalia Ignotovich has been placed in Group V6, where they will play against teams from Israel and Armenia. To advance to League A, either winning the group or finishing as one of the best six second-place teams across all groups in League B is required.

"We are aiming for first place and returning to League A. Therefore, at training sessions we have adopted an attacking formation 3-5-2. I am satisfied with the actions of my players. We have video recordings of matches involving our opponents, and the Israeli team seems stronger. However, these are fragments from last year's games, and since then there have been changes in squad compositions. Although the playing style remains unchanged. So I hope that our home preparations will be useful, and the girls won't let us down," — said ahead of time head coach of Ukraine's women's youth national team Natalia Ignotovich.
