We remind you that the blue-and-yellow team successfully advanced to the first round of matches in League W, outperforming teams from Estonia, North Macedonia, and Moldova, and entered into League A.

However, considering the full-scale aggression from Russia that continues and the state of war in Ukraine, a large number of 15-16-year-old female football players are currently with their parents and relatives, which is most important for children today, while some of them were forced to temporarily leave Ukrainian borders.

Also, the UAF, in cooperation with UEFA, is completing the process of helping players find new clubs, a service that has already been utilized by some members of Ukraine's women's national team.

We remind you that FIFA made an exception and allowed registration for Ukrainian football players until April 7, 2022.

Thus, the participant of the final stage of Euro-2022, which will take place in Bosnia and Herzegovina from May 3 to May 15, will be determined by a mini-tournament among three teams—Spain, Czech Republic, and Hungary—from Group A2. The matches will take place between April 7 and April 13.
