The draw for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers placed Ukraine’s national team in Group 3 alongside England, Spain, and Iceland. Head coach Volodymyr Pyatenko discussed the challenges and expectations of the upcoming matches.

“England and Spain played in the final of this year’s European Championship. There’s no need to add more about these teams — they’ve been setting the pace in women’s football for quite some time. The Icelandic players are also making progress. Of course, the main contenders in our group will be England and Spain. But football rankings don’t always matter. Much will depend on the teams’ form, injuries, and mental readiness. Everything will be decided on the field.”

According to the official UAF website, Ukraine’s women’s team will prepare to compete for a place at the world tournament in Brazil, aiming to make a strong statement despite the tough competition in their qualifying group.
