Andriy Pavelko, President of the Ukrainian Football Association and UEFA Executive Committee member, thanked supporters for their support of the national team and wished the blue-and-yellow success in the playoff.

"Ukraine is in the 1/8 finals of Euro-2020! — wrote Andriy Pavelko on his Facebook profile. — Thank you to all supporters who created an incredible atmosphere for the team and devotedly supported it twice at the stadium in Bucharest, and before that — in Amsterdam! We are together, as a whole country, helping little supporter Dmitry Basov collect funds for treatment, while another child, Levko, who is only one month old, already supported the team from the stands in Bucharest.

The national team is supported by everyone — the President of Ukraine, defenders protecting our borders on the East, millions of Ukrainians around the world! We are a single whole! Devoted supporters of our team to the last moment were experiencing and believing that the team would qualify from the group. And this is first and foremost your success and your merit! Millions of blue-and-yellow hearts!

I am confident that the team led by Andriy Shevchenko will demonstrate character in the next match! Remember, all of Ukraine is behind you! It's on your jerseys! It's in your hearts! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!"
