2020: results of the year for the national beach soccer team
In 2020, the Ukrainian national beach soccer team took part in only one big tournament - the Euroleague Super Final - in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.
This year, the Ukrainian beach soccer team was to take part in four major representative tournaments. Unfortunately, the infamous COVID-19 pandemic made its adjustments to the season, in connection with which three of them did not take place.
In March, the International Beach Soccer Federation (BSWW) canceled all competitions under its auspices until June, and then extended this term until September. Therefore, the qualifying tournament for the пля World Beach Games (May 2-9), selection for the Euroleague Super Final (June-July) and selection for the 2021 World Cup (July 23-31) had to be canceled or postponed.
The Blue and Yellows managed to play only in the Euroleague Super Final, which took place on September 1-6 in Nazare, Portugal. It took place in an unusual format - with the participation of only five teams in a single-round tournament.
Before the start of the competition, an important change took place in the national team of Ukraine - Mykola Kostenko took the position of head coach instead of Yevhen Varenytsia. Under his leadership, the team took third place in the Euroleague Super Final, winning in Germany and France and losing to Switzerland and Portugal.
Another event for the blue and yellows this year was the weekly training camp in Turkey, which took place in early November. It was attended by 11 performers - two goalkeepers and nine field players.
In total, the Ukrainian beach soccer team played four matches in 2020 - all at the official level. The result is two victories and two defeats. Andriy Pashko became the best scorer of the season in the blue-yellow team, scoring four goals.
