The head coach of Ukraine's under-19 futsal team, Igor Moskvinov, commented on his team's match against Spain in the Euro-2025 semifinal (U-19).

As a reminder, in the 1/2 final of Euro-2025 (U-19) futsal, Ukraine's youth national team lost to Spain (4:7). The coach shared his impressions from the match.

"I congratulate the Spanish team on their well-deserved victory. The Spaniards were faster, took advantage of our mistakes and scored goals. Ukraine has always been known for its ability to win individual battles, quick transitions from defense to attack, but today it was the opposite. We lost because we moved slower and made decisions more slowly,"— Igor Moskvinov said.

Unfortunately, our team concluded their participation in Euro-2025 (U-19), marking the third consecutive tournament where they reached the semifinals.

In the group stage, Igor Moskvinov's wards first defeated Moldova (7:0), then lost to Portugal in the second round (0:4), and finally beat Italy in the third round (2:0). As a result, our team secured the second place in Group A and advanced to the semifinals, where their opponent was the Spanish national team.

The debut European Championship among juniors took place in 2019 in Rijeka. The second edition was held in 2022 in Jaén (originally planned for 2021 but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and the third one was in 2023 in Poreč. Spain's teams won championships in 2019 (2019, 2022) and Portugal's team won in 2023 (2023).

Ukraine's national team participated in all three final tournaments. In 2019, Vitaliy Odegov's wards secured third place in the group stage, and in 2022 they stopped at the semifinals (2022). In 2023, Igor Moskvinov's team also reached the semifinal stage .
