Geography for the national team: there are five potential rivals left in Europe
After the 2017 matches, the number of Ukrainian national team rivals has reached a mark in 67 countries.
Almost all rivals of the national team of Ukraine in 2017 belonged to the category of old acquaintances. The debutant was only one - the national team of Malta. Moreover, she managed to offend Andriy Shevchenko's team, beating it in Graz, Austria.
Malta is Ukraine's 50th opponent among UEFA member states, but one is no longer on the political map of Europe: Yugoslavia first changed its name to Serbia and Montenegro, and then split into two. Of the other UEFA members, Ukraine has never played against Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein and Ireland.
In total, our team met with representatives of five confederations (except Oceania) and played 245 matches. They won 110 victories, 67 draws, 68 matches ended in our defeat. The goal difference is 336-239, 397 points are scored (we are on the verge of the anniversary), which is 54% of the maximum possible number.
