Today, April 11, the youth women's national team of Ukraine WU-19 completed its performance in the second round of Euro-2023 selection with a match against Iceland.

In the previous matches of group A5, the matches of which were hosted by Denmark, Valery Palamarchuk's wards lost to Sweden (0:5) and the host team1:5). Our national team, unfortunately, lost its registration in League A early, and in the last match of the quartet, it met Iceland, which, on the contrary, as the winner of the group, guaranteed itself a place in the European Championship.

The match took place in the city of Brondby. The Icelanders took the lead in the 31st minute, but before the break, the Ukrainians recovered thanks to a well-hit shot by Molodiuk.

In the second half, Molodiuk scored for the second time, but the rivals quickly regained their balance. In the end, the match ended in a draw - 2:2, so our girls scored one point. Be that as it may, the youth women's national team of Ukraine WU-19 will start the next season in League B. The draw for the first round of selection for Euro-2024 (WU-19) will take place on June 16.
