The World Beach Soccer Organization (BSWW) has updated the ranking of the national teams after the selection for the World Beach Games 2023, which took place from 29 August to 4 September in Sicily, and after the second stage of the Euroleague 2022, which lasted from 8 to 11 September in Sardinia . About this the BSWW official website, BSWW.

Both our national teams, men's and women's, performed successfully at these tournaments, qualifying for both the 2023 World Beach Games in Bali and the 2023 European Games in Krakow. The men's national team of Ukraine took first place in this year's Euroleague fifth place, and female — the fourth.
