Oleksandr Kosynko: "Bronze medals of world first place are a very honorable result. Thank you to everyone who supported us!" Note: The phrase "world first place" might be better translated as "world championships" or "world finals" for clarity, but since it's a direct translation request, I've kept it as close to the original as possible while maintaining natural English syntax. However, sticking strictly to your instructions: Oleksandr Kosenko: "Bronze medals of world first place are a very honorable result. Thank you to everyone who supported us!"
Head coach of the Ukraine futsal team Oleksandr Kosienko summed up our team's performance at the 2024 World Championship in Uzbekistan.

The Ukrainian futsal team won its first bronze medals in world history. Our team on Sunday in Tashkent defeated France with a score of 7:1 and secured the third place at this year's World Cup.
In addition to collective success, Ukrainians have individual achievements at CH-2024 as well. Rostyslav Semenchenko was named the third-best player of the tournament and received the "Bronze Ball," while Danyil Abakshin won the "Silver Boot" (seven goals) and became the second-highest scorer at CH-2024.
It should be noted that during the group stage, our national team first lost to Argentina (1:7), then beat Angola (7:2) and Afghanistan (4:1). The final standings were as follows:
