Main coach of the Ukrainian women's futsal team Oleksandr Zolotukhin summarized for the AFU press two friendly matches against France (2:4, 1:4). 

— Mister Oleksandr, how do the results of these games reflect?

— In the first game, our opponents were stronger than us. As for the second meeting, we outperformed the French girls in all indicators, especially in the first half, but unfortunately, we lacked skill in the final phase. Nothing to be afraid of, we gave young and girls who previously did not have stable playing practice in the national team a chance to play. The main thing is that we make the right conclusions and work further.

We saw that there are girls who want to cement their place in the first team rather than be satisfied with just an away training camp.

— What are the plans for preparation for matches in the elite round of Euro-2027?

— In March, we have scheduled camps, now waiting for confirmation from our opponent. We will call both experienced girls and those who performed well in friendly matches against France.
