After the decisive match against the Italians in the group stage, the coach of the blue-and-yellow team summed up its results, reports UEFA.

"I am very happy that Ukraine is again in the semifinals, but our goal is to reach the final, so we have one more step to make. I am proud of my team, as after the match with Portugal. Despite the loss in that game, we received positive emotions. 

We analyzed Italy's previous matches and identified their strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, our tactics aimed at creating them as many problems as possible, and we also developed a defensive plan," — said Igor Moskvin.

The inaugural European Championship for futsal among juniors was held in Rijeka in 2019, the second edition took place in 2022 in Jaén (it was initially planned for 2021 but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and the third one — in 2023 in Poreč. The champions were teams from Spain (2019, 2022) and Portugal (2023).
