Serhii Sapronov: The girls were very disappointed when they heard that Euro 2020 was canceled
Due to the difficult epidemiological situation, the UEFA Executive Committee was forced to cancel the elite round and the final part of European Championship 2020 WU-17. It will be recalled that the women's team of Ukraine also won the right to play in the elite round in Norway ...
- It's a pity when the circumstances dictate the conditions, - said the head coach of Ukraine WU-17 Serhii Sapronov in a comment to the UAF official website. - Frankly, girls were very disappointed when they heard this news. It is especially unfortunate that girls born in 2003 will no longer be able to perform in this age group without gaining international experience.
I hope that this will not derail them, they will continue to train hard and eventually apply for a place in the national A-team. In the end, we can't do anything, UEFA's decision is balanced, because it's about girls' health…

- I have already decided on the girls born in 2004, because last year I went to the international tournament to Belarus with Ukraine (U-15). But there are problems with younger players.

That's why there is nothing left but to be patient and wait for the COVID-XNUMX to begin to recede.
