"For the vast majority of girls, this will be their first international experience. The same can be said about our rivals. It is important that, according to the rules of the competition, each of the announced football players must spend at least 90 minutes on the field after the results of three matches. So everyone will have the necessary game practice, and the coaches will have an opportunity to see what their wards are worth." — said the day before head coach of the girls' national team of Ukraine, Serhii Sapronov.
