From November 9 to 12, Yuri Klimenko's wards will participate in the Neom Beach Soccer Cup 2022 in Saudi Arabia. In addition to the Ukrainian team (ranked 5th globally), teams from England (2nd), Brazil (4th) and the Netherlands (16th) will also compete. The tournament will follow a round-robin format, followed by the final.

Unfortunately, most of the girls on the main team were unable to travel for this tournament due to various reasons, so the team is traveling with an incomplete roster and two new players.

Roster of the Ukrainian Women's Beach Soccer Team

Goalkeeper: Anastasiia Teresh. 

Field Players: Iryna Dubytska, Mariia Tikhonova, Myroslava Vypasnyak, Mar'iana Kramna, Oksana Khodok, Anastasiia Kalagina.  

Due to family circumstances, the team's main coach Yuri Klimenko was unable to travel with the team. Therefore, at this tournament, captain Yuliia Dektiar will fulfill coaching duties while recovering from a wrist injury.

"The task for this tournament is to gain playing experience against top international teams and to observe new girls who are potential candidates for inclusion in the main team roster next season," — said Yuri Klimenko.
