Reminder, in Riga at the «Riga-Arena», Ukrainians beat the Czech team (5:3) and advanced to the quarter-finals of Euro-2026 where they will face France. The post-match commentary by our coach is available on UEFA's official website.

«This was indeed a tough game for us, but we managed to pull through. I sincerely thank all our supporters who always support us — not just at the arena, but in Ukraine as well. I also want to thank my team because it was hard for us, but now we need to prepare for the next match.

We hope to repeat our previous experience. We need to take it one step at a time and not think about the final. France is indeed a tough opponent for us, but we have some experience playing against them, and now we need to prepare. What we are sure of — the French are good with the ball», — said Oleksandr Kosenko.
