The team of Bosnia and Herzegovina became the 71st rival of the national team of Ukraine in history

The national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina became a rival for the national team of Ukraine № 71.
At the beginning of the biography of the national team of Ukraine, almost every opponent was new. Geography was constantly expanding. And for the first time we didn't have any debut opponents in 2005. After that, this situation was repeated three more times (2009, 2015, 2020).
The dynamics of updating the list of rivals has decreased in recent years: in 2017-2021 - only five new opponents.
In total, Ukraine's rivals include 51 from Europe, seven from Asia, six from Africa, four from CONCACAF and three from South America. We have not met so far only with the teams of Oceania.
