Today, March 17 in the Netherlands, Ukraine's women's national team WU-17 played their second match of the Euro-2024 qualification round two in Group A5.

After losing in the opening game against the Netherlands (0:4), today in Nordwijk at Gemeentelijk Sportpark S.J.C., the team coached by Sergiy Sapronov faced Spain.

This time, Ukraine's national team put up a more serious fight, although they lost, conceding one goal in each half (in the 43rd and 68th minutes). Unfortunately, our girls have lost their chances to qualify for European top-tier status. The ticket from our Group A5 will be contested by Spain and the Netherlands.

The next and final match of the Euro-2024 qualification round will see Ukraine play against Turkey on March 20. At stake is maintaining their place in Group A for the next cycle. Our team, considering the goal difference, would need a draw to secure this.
