After the final match of the group stage of Euro 2024 qualification between Ukraine and Italy (0:0), changes occurred in the historic table of our national team's veterans.

Taras Stepanenko, having played his 81st match for the blue and yellow, has now come one step closer to Yevhen Konoplyanka, who holds seventh place with 87 matches.

58 matches for Oleksandr Zinchenko allowed him to catch up with Oleksandr Holovko and Yevhen Seleznyov. Now this trio shares positions 17–19.

Finally, Viktor Tsygankov marked a milestone — his 50th match in the national team — and caught up with Artem Milevskyi (29–30 positions).
