On Wednesday, July 8, the final of the Cup of Ukraine will take place at the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv, where Dynamo Kyiv and Vorskla Poltava will meet. Ambassador This match ambassador will be a native of Poltava, a former midfielder of Dynamo, Dnipro and the national team of Ukraine, and now - the head coach of the youth national team of Ukraine Ruslan Rotan.

- Is the mission of the ambassador newе forуyou ??

- So. I am glad that the choice fell on me. Thanks to the UAF leadership for the trust, I will try not to let you down (smiles). I think the fight itself will be interesting. The only thing is that it is a pity that it will take place without spectators due to quarantine measures.

- What will be your responsibilities before and after the match?

- To accompany the trophy, participate in the awarding ceremony...

- As a footballer you are the Ukrainian Cup twice. Which final do you remember the most — in 2006 or 2007 year?

- Each such success is important in its own way, and each is stored in memory. To do this, the player goes on the field - to win and awards, it's about the Cup of the country, the championship title or championship medals ...

- Who do you prefer to winthe trophyі?

- Dynamo is a more experienced team, but it is not for nothing that they say that cup matches are completely different in their tension. For me, both Dynamo and Vorskla are no strangers. In the capital club I spent part of my career, winning trophies. And I was born in Poltava, my father played for Vorskla. That's why it's hard for me to prefer someone. I will support spectacular football, and let the strongest celebrate the victory.
