Today, on March 17, in Netherlands the women's national team of Ukraine WU-17 held the second match of the second round of Euro-2024 qualifying in League A.

After the defeat in the opening match of the tournament against Netherlands (0:4) today in Noordwijk at the Gemeentelijk Sportpark SJC, Serhiy Sapronov's wards met Spain.

This time, the Ukrainian national team put up a more serious fight, although they lost, conceding a goal in each of the halves (at the 43rd and 68th minutes). Unfortunately, our girls lost their chances to enter the European Championship. The ticket from our A5 group will be competed by the national teams of Spain and Netherlands. 

The next and last qualifying match for the 2024 European Championship will be played against Turkey on March 20. At stake is the preservation of registration in League A in the next cycle. Taking into account the goal difference, our team will be satisfied with a draw.
