The Montenegrins have a very young team. As I understand it, this selection cycle in Montenegro is seen as preparation for the next one. The national team has its leaders who play in the championships of Germany and Italy, there are experienced players, but there are not many of them.
However, there are no weak rivals now. We are preparing very seriously. We will do everything so that we are not ashamed of the selection cycle, "said Natalia Zinchenko.

It will be recalled that on April 23, the UEFA Executive Committee decided on postponement of the final part of the European Championship among the national women's national teams. Thus, the Euro in England will be held from 6 to 31 July 2022.
