Underhead coach Oleksandr Kosenko's players won six matches out of six and advanced to the final stage of Euro-2026. The best scorer in the entire qualification was utility player Yevgen Zhuk from the Ukrainian national team.

The 32-year-old Ukrainian futsal player scored nine goals in six matches during the Euro-2026 qualifier.
